Preparing efficient self-healing polyimide coating for enhancing stability of electromagnetic interference shielding film

Electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding films were widely utilized in various electronic devices, but they were prone to damage and performance degradation in harsh environments. Therefore, it was urgent to maintain stable performance of EMI shielding films. In this work, we adopt the reactions between aldehyde-modified diamine monomers and dianhydride monomers with dynamic imine bond to successfully prepare a self-healing PI (SHPI) film. Benefit from dynamic imine and imide bond, the SHPI film possessed excellent thermal stability (T5 %=527.7°C), tensile strength (72 MPa) and self-healing efficiency (94.4 %). As protecting coating layer, the SHPI film was able to maintain the commercial aluminized polyimide (PI/Al) film with good EMI shielding performance in acid environment. The electromagnetic shielding film with self-healing coating still had average EMI shielding effectiveness value of 44.5 dB after exposed to 10 % concentration nitric acid solution for 30 min. It is noteworthy that when damaged by external forces, the electromagnetic shielding film with self-healing coating could achieve rapid healing, while the tensile strength was up to 87 MPa and the self-healing efficiency reached 92.5 %. This work provided an effective self-healing protective layer for EMI shielding material against corrosion in acidic environments and damage from external pressures.

Synergy of reduced graphene oxide composites with cerium doped lanthanum ferrite for high frequency (12.4–18 GHz) electromagnetic shielding application

In this paper, electromagnetic shielding properties of reduced graphene oxide (RGO) composites with cerium-doped lanthanum ferrite, La0.9Ce0.1FeO3 (LCFO), are studied. The synthesis procedure adopted is incipient wetness impregnation with SBA-15 as a template for LCFO and modified Hummer's method for graphene oxide (GO). The composites are synthesized by in-situ reduction of GO in the presence of LCFO, which acts as a magnetic filler in the weight ratios 1:0, 1:1, 2:1, 3:1 and 1:2 of LCFO and GO. X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and nitrogen absorption/desorption isotherm are used to investigate the structural properties. Vector network analyzer (VNA) is used to ascertain the shielding and dielectric properties. The La0.9Ce0.1FeO3-reduced graphene oxide (LCFG31) composite shows appreciable electrical conductivity of 81.43 S/m and an effective BET surface area value of 23.93 m2g-1. It attenuates >99.99 % of electromagnetic waves, and a shielding effectiveness (SE) value of 41.82 dB at a thickness of 2.36 mm in the Ku frequency band (12.4–18 GHz) has been achieved. The heterogeneous interfaces in the composite structure result in orientational and space charge polarization. The inclusion of magnetic ferrite as filler in composite incurs eddy current loss and magnetic losses. All these factors collectively make the composite material a good choice for electromagnetic shielding which can be further used for commercial applications.

Centrifugal Inertia-Induced Directional Alignment of AgNW Network for Preparing Transparent Electromagnetic Interference Shielding Films with Joule Heating Ability.

Transparent electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding is highly desired in specific visual scenes, but the challenge remains in balancing their EMI shielding effectiveness (SE) and optical transmittance. Herein, this study proposed a directionally aligned silver nanowire (AgNW) network construction strategy to address the requirement of high EMI SE and satisfactory light transmittance using a rotation spraying technique. The orientation distribution of AgNW is induced by centrifugal inertia force generated by a high-speed rotating roller, which overcomes the issue of high contact resistance in random networks and achieves high conductivity even at low AgNW network density. Thus, the obtained transparent conductive film achieved a high light transmittance of 72.9% combined with a low sheet resistance of 4.5 Ω sq-1 and a desirable EMI SE value of 35.2dB at X band, 38.9dB in the K-band, with the highest SE of 43.4dB at 20.4GHz. Simultaneously, the excellent conductivity endowed the film with outstanding Joule heating performance and defogging/deicing ability, ensuring the visual transparency of windows when shielding electromagnetic waves. Hence, this research presents a highly effective strategy for constructing an aligned AgNW network, offering a promising solution for enhancing the performance of optical-electronic devices.

Developing bi-functional thermoelectric (TE) and electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials is an effective way for the integrated electronic devices to face the accumulated thermal energy and complicated electromagnetic environment. Herein, flexible Ag2Se/polyvinylidene fluoride (Ag2Se/PVDF) composite films were successfully prepared through solution 3D printing and subsequent annealing treatment. As Ag2Se content increased, both the power factor and average total EMI shielding effectiveness (SET) were boosted. When the mass fraction of Ag2Se was 85 wt%, a power factor of 904.6 μW m−1K−2 at 360 K was achieved for the ASP-85 composite film. Meanwhile, this ASP-85 composite film shown the outstanding SET value of 56.1 dB at 52 μm thickness. Flexible Ag2Se/PVDF composite films displayed the excellent thermal energy conversion and EMI shielding capacity.

Effective Electromagnetic Properties of Composite Material Computed From Neural Network Approach

ABSTRACTThanks to their lightweight, composite materials have become widely used in the automotive and aerospace industries. The design of components made from these materials is carried out by numerical modeling which can sometimes be tedious because of the need to take into account the internal structure of these materials. Obtaining the effective properties of an equivalent homogeneous material to replace the composite in our numerical models makes modeling easier. Classical homogenization approaches are not always suitable to obtain these effective properties. This article deals with an inverse problem that consists in computing the electromagnetic properties from the knowledge of the magnetic shielding effectiveness values. For different composite samples, an artificial neural network method is used to predict the effective conductivities from the magnetic shielding effectiveness measurements. The magnetic shielding effectiveness values computed from the predicted conductivities are close to those obtained from the measurements.

Flexible sandwich-structured silver nanowire/exfoliated graphite platelet/aramid nanofiber composite films with excellent EMI shielding, thermal conduction and Joule heating performances

Multifunctional flexible sandwich-structured EMI shielding silver nanowire/exfoliated graphite platelet/aramid nanofiber (AgNW/EGP/ANF) composite films with excellent thermal conduction and Joule heating abilities were successfully prepared by a layer-by-layer vacuum filtration technique. The construction of EGP/ANF layer on the two sides is crucial in achieving outstanding thermal conductivity (TC) and contributes partial EMI shielding effectiveness (SE) for the composite films. The introduction of an ultrathin, dense, and sintered AgNW/ANF layer endows the composite films with significant enhancements in electrical conductivity and EMI SE. As a result, the optimal 30 μm-thick composite films with an AgNW loading of 35 wt% exhibit excellent EMI SE values of 69.0 dB in the X-band and 78.4 dB in the Ka-band and a superior in-plane TC of 48.7 W m−1 K−1. Besides, the prepared composite films present an outstanding Joule heating performance. Briefly, the sandwich-structured composite films show huge potential in advanced portable and wearable electronic applications.

Green Electromagnetic Interference Shielding Material Based on Thermally Expandable Microspheres.

With the aggravation of electromagnetic pollution, electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials have received enormous attention. However, most of the current EMI shielding materials only focus on the shielding effectiveness (SE), neglecting the electromagnetic pollution brought by secondary reflection. In this work, a method of preparing absorption-dominated EMI shielding materials, which are also called green EMI materials, using thermally expandable microspheres (TEMs) and expanded graphite (EG), is proposed. The expansion of TEMs in the EG/waterborne polyurethane mixture can improve the impedance matching between the composite and air. When the content of TEMs is 5 wt % and the content of EG is 15 wt %, the EMI SE of the sample reaches 38.4 dB, and the average reflection power coefficient of this composite is 0.27, indicating that the material mainly shields electromagnetic waves through absorption. Meanwhile, the prepared material also exhibits good stability, maintaining outstanding EMI SE and low value of reflection power coefficient even after the compression-recovery test.

Effect and mechanism of the opening area on the shielding effectiveness of an electromagnetic shielding garment

The opening area has an important effect on the overall protective performance of electromagnetic shielding (EMS) garments, but its mechanism and influencing laws are not clear. In this paper, a semi-anechoic chamber is adopted to construct a testing system, and a tying and covering method is proposed to test the shielding effectiveness (SE) of the garment with different parameters of opening area. Combined with electromagnetic theory, experimental results are analyzed, and influence laws and mechanisms of the opening area on the overall SE of the garment are discovered. Based on this, some new ideas for designing and evaluating EMS garment are proposed. We conclude that the opening area has a reducing effect on the SE of the garment in the frequency range of 1–3 GHz. The larger the size of the opening area, the more obvious the effect is. When reaching a certain size, the value of overall SE reaches zero or can even be negative, resulting in a significant decrease in the protective performance of the garment or even complete loss of its protective effect. The distance between the opening and the test point has a significant influence on the SE of the garment: the closer the distance, the greater the influence is. The opening closest to the testing point has a decisive effect on the overall SE of the garment. The style of opening area has a significant influence on the SE of the garment: pleated or inclined shape can improve the SE. Based on the above rules, a multi-index comprehensive weighted testing evaluation method for an EMS garment that fully considers the influence proportion of each opening is proposed, providing a scientific reference for the design, production, testing, and evaluation of EMS garments.

BST@Copper Nanowire/Epoxy composites with excellent microwave absorption in the X-band

In this work, hybrid epoxy nanocomposites containing varying loading of copper nanowires (CuNW), Ba0.7Sr0.3TiO3 (BST), and BST@CuNW hybrid nanoparticles were prepared and analyzed for their microwave absorption characteristics. The nanoparticles used in this study were prepared using a facile co-precipitation and hydrothermal methodology. The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) for their morphology and phase determination. While the XRD results confirmed the presence of BST and CuNW, the SEM micrographs obtained on the hybrid BST@CuNW nanoparticles show BST anchored on the CuNW surfaces. A series of epoxy composites containing varying loading of synthesized nanoparticles were prepared and characterized for their microwave properties, such as complex permittivity, shielding effectiveness, and power coefficients. The results indicate that nanocomposites containing BST@CuNW hybrids exhibited enhanced dielectric loss and more significant microwave power absorption compared to samples with equivalent CuNW and/or BST loading. The best composite sample, i.e., a one-millimeter-thick epoxy containing 10:15 (wt/wt) CuNW: BST hybrid nanoparticles with an estimated density of 1.49 g/cc attenuated 99.1 % of incident microwave power and exhibited a shielding effectiveness value of 21.2 dB in the X-band (8–12 GHz) of the microwave frequency spectrum. These lightweight polymer composites with high microwave absorption in the X-band are useful for military and civilian applications.

Enhanced EMI shielding effectiveness of green Eucommia ulmoides gum composites through heterogeneous and crystalline structures

In order to mitigate the increasing severity of electromagnetic interference (EMI), it is imperative to develop advanced rubber composites. Despite recent advancements in structural design and filler hybridization for enhancing their EMI shielding performance, challenges persist in terms of suboptimal mechanical properties and intricate processing techniques. To overcome these limitations, bio-based Eucommia ulmoides gum (EUG) composites with segregated network structures were fabricated by simple mechanical blending, capitalizing on the characteristics of highly cross-linked rubbers with restricted molecular chains. Highly cross-linked EUG (HCE) effectively segregated the conductive fillers into the EUG phase, while the crystallization of EUG promoted the dispersion of fillers within the amorphous region of the EUG. Therefore, a highly efficient 3D conductive network was formed due to the segregated structure and crystallization, enabling the EUG/HCE/CNT composite to achieve an exceptional shielding effectiveness (SE) value of 83.0 dB with a high absorption loss ranging from 8.2 GHz to 12.4 GHz.

In-situ microfibrilization of liquid metal droplets in polymer matrix for enhancing electromagnetic interference shielding and thermal conductivity

Herein, liquid metal microfibers (LMM) were constructed in poly (ε-caprolactone) (PCL) matrix and PCL/carbon nanotubes (CNT) composites via an in-situ microfibrilization of liquid metal (LM) droplets by a layer-by-layer stacking method. The aspect ratios of LMMs in the composites can be easily adjusted by controlling the number layers. The effect of LMM aspect ratios on electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding effectiveness (SE) and thermal conductivity is discussed. The results show that the EMI SE value and the thermal conductivity increase with increasing aspect ratios of LMMs. In addition, the EMI shielding mechanism of PCL/LMM and PCL/LMM/CNT composites is evaluated comprehensively through the combination of electromagnetic simulation and experimental investigation. The efficiently conductive network can be formed in the composites with LMMs, which enhance EMI SE and thermal conductivity. Furthermore, the electric field distribution on the LMM surface is uneven, which enhances the polarization loss ability to electromagnetic waves.

Tailored eutectic alloy coating for enhanced EMI and X-ray protection by basalt fiber CNT/epoxy composite

In this study, eutectic-Bi–Sn-coated basalt fiber (BF)-reinforced carbon nanotube (CNT)/epoxy hybrid composites were fabricated for dual functionality, i.e., in managing and shielding clinical X-ray radiation and electromagnetic interference (EMI). BF mats were coated with Bi–Sn nanoparticles and subsequently layered with multi-walled CNTs mixed epoxy resin using the vacuum-assisted resin transfer method. High resolution field emission scanning electron microscopy revealed a good dispersion of Bi–Sn nanoparticles over BF and, CNTs within the epoxy matrix. X-ray diffraction analysis confirmed the presence of Bi–Sn, basalt, and CNT phases in the composites. High-resolution Raman spectroscopy revealed characteristic peaks corresponding to the CNTs, epoxy, and Bi–Sn phases. EMI total shielding effectiveness (SET) analysis in the X-band frequency range (8.2–12.4 GHz) demonstrated that the Bi–Sn/BF/CNT/epoxy (S3) exhibits the highest SET value of 30.4 dB, which is attributable to the synergistic effect of the Bi–Sn coating and CNT filler. Analysis of X-ray-radiation leakage revealed that all the composite samples effectively attenuated X-rays with minimal leakage, limited to 6.8 mR. These results indicate the potential of these composites for applications as eco-friendly, non-toxic, and lead-free various industries including healthcare, electronics, aerospace, and defense.

AbstractIn this paper, a hybrid approach was employed by integrating a high‐modulus, high‐tensile‐strength carbon fiber fabric (CFF) with a low‐density, high‐toughness silk nonwoven fabric (SNWF) to fabricate CFF‐SNWF reinforced epoxy (CFF‐SNWF/EP) hybrid composites. Through the surface freeze‐induced self‐assembly process, the multiscale hybrid modified layers were successfully constructed on the surfaces of both CFF and SNWF.

Specifically, the tensile strength and interlaminar shear strength of the modified composites reached 626.7 and 39.16 MPa, a rise scope of 17.1% and 14.8%, respectively. In addition, the hybrid fibers reinforced polymers (HFRPs) exhibited a superior electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding capabilities. For insistence, the modified CFF/EP with a thickness of 2.0 mm showed an impressive EMI shielding effectiveness value of 50 dB. These findings underscore the promising application potential of CFF‐SNWF/EP hybrid composites, particularly in the field of consumer electronics.Highlights The surface of hybrid fiber was modified by PDA‐GO‐OCNTs‐WPU.

Simultaneously achieving excellent shielding effectiveness (SE) and high absorption rate of flexible electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials has become a growing demand for the new generation of highly integrated electronic devices. This study constructed a double-layer polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) EMI shielding composite film, with the upper layer using Ni-plated carbon fiber (Ni@CF) as the high absorption loss part and the lower layer using Ag-plated graphene fiber (Ag@GF) as the reflection attenuation part. Due to the synergistic magnetic/dielectric loss effect in the upper layer, high electrical conductivity in the lower layer, and the shielding mechanism of “absorption-reflection-reabsorption” induced by the double-layer structure, this composite film achieves efficient EMI shielding performance and high absorption characteristics in the X-band. The EMI SE values of the 2 mm thick film containing 0.03 wt% Ni@CF and 1.2 wt% Ag@GF reach 33.7 dB, while shielding effectiveness of reflection (SER) and absorption (SEA) is 0.8 dB and 32.9 dB, respectively. This result means that the composite film only reflects 17.2 % of the microwaves while shielding 99.9 % and absorbs nearly 82.7 %, exhibiting a significant absorption-dominated shielding mechanism. This flexible and efficient shielding film with a high absorption rate suits portable and wearable intelligent electronic products to reduce secondary electromagnetic pollution.

Developing low-density and high-efficiency electromagnetic shielding materials is of great importance. Carbon aerogel materials have received worldwide attention due to their significant electromagnetic interference shielding properties and physicochemical stability. Herein, lightweight hafnium carbide nanowire (HfCnw)-carbon fiber (CF)/graphene aerogel (GA) composites with excellent electromagnetic shielding performance were fabricated by successively introducing CF via hydrothermal process, pyrolytic carbon (PyC) coating via chemical vapor infiltration (CVI), and HfCnw via catalytic chemical vapor deposition (CCVD) into GA.
