Abstract
Improving the thermal conductivity and electromagnetic shielding performance of silicone rubber composites is crucial for their application in electronic devices. In this work, inspired by the structure of waffle, a novel approach combining ice templating and mechanical vibration was employed to prepare reduced graphene oxide (rGO)/silicon carbide whisker (SiC) filler networks arranged in both horizontal and vertical directions. Silicone rubber composites were prepared by vacuum impregnation of silicone rubber into the three-dimensional filler networks. At the hybrid filler content of 3.88 vol%, the through-plane thermal conductivity reached 5.24 W/(m·K), exhibiting about 31 times higher than that of silicone rubber, and the anisotropy of thermal conductivity of the composite was only 1.35 due to the structural arrangement of the filler network in both vertical and horizontal directions. The total electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding effectiveness of the composite with 3.88 vol% hybrid filler was 35.2 dB with low electromagnetic reflection, exhibiting good EMI shielding performance.
