Synthesis of ferrofluid based nanoarchitectured polypyrrole composites and its application for electromagnetic shielding

The monodispersion of magnetic nanoparticles in conducting polymer is the prerequisite to make a high quality composite for tunable electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding. To meet this challenge, we have designed and synthesized ferrofluid based nanoarchitectured polypyrrole composites containing Fe₃O₄ (8–12 nm) via in situ oxidative polymerization. To tune the microwave signals, polypyrrole composites (PFF) with different monomer/ferrofluid weight ratios have been prepared and characterized in microwave frequency domain. A maximum shielding effectiveness value of SE_A(max) = 20.4 dB (∼99% attenuation) due to the absorption of microwave has been observed in the frequency range of 12.4–18 GHz and attenuation level varied with ferrofluid loading. The electrical conductivity of PFF composite is of the order of 10⁻² S cm⁻¹ order and having superparamagnetic nature with saturation magnetization (M_s) of 5.5 emu g⁻¹. The lightweight PFF composites with high attenuations can provide full control over the atomic structure and are favorable for the practical EMI shielding application for commercial electronic appliances.     

Reduced graphene oxide deposited carbon fiber reinforced polymer composites for electromagnetic interference shielding

Reduced graphene oxide deposited carbon fiber (rGO-CF) was prepared by introducing GO onto CF surface through electrophoretic deposition method, following by reducing the GO sheets on CF with NaBH₄ solution. The rGO-CF was found to be more effective than CF to improve the electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding property of unsaturated polyester (UP) based composites. With 0.75% mass fraction of rGO-CF, the shielding effectiveness of the composite reached 37.8 dB at the frequency range of 8.2–12.4 GHz (x-band), which had 16.3% increase than that of CF/UP composite (32.5 dB) in the same fiber mass fraction. The results suggest that rGO-CF is a good candidate for the use as a light-weight EMI shielding material.

Polymer/carbon based composites as electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials

The extensive development of electronic systems and telecommunications has lead to major concerns regarding electromagnetic pollution. Motivated by environmental questions and by a wide variety of applications, the quest for materials with high efficiency to mitigate electromagnetic interferences (EMI) pollution has become a mainstream field of research. This paper reviews the state-of-the-art research in the design and characterization of polymer/carbon based composites as EMI shielding materials. After a brief introduction, in Section 1, the electromagnetic theory will be briefly discussed in Section 2 setting the foundations of the strategies to be employed to design efficient EMI shielding materials. These materials will be classified in the next section by the type of carbon fillers, involving carbon black, carbon fiber, carbon nanotubes and graphene. The importance of the dispersion method into the polymer matrix (melt-blending, solution processing, etc.) on the final material properties will be discussed. The combination of carbon fillers with other constituents such as metallic nanoparticles or conductive polymers will be the topic of Section 4. The final section will address advanced complex architectures that are currently studied to improve the performances of EMI materials and, in some cases, to impart additional properties such as thermal management and mechanical resistance. In all these studies, we will discuss the efficiency of the composites/devices to absorb and/or reflect the EMI radiation.     

Thermal stability of shielding effectiveness of electromagnetic interference of composites

A series of composites were prepared using polyethylene and various chatter-machined metal fibres (aluminium, copper, steel and brass) and carbon fibre, and the effects of the concentration of the fillers and the thermal treatment of the composites at 80° C in air on the shielding effectiveness (SE) of eleotronnagnotic interference were examined. The order of the generation of SE was, brass > steel > copper aluminium > carbon. Thermal degradation of SE was scarcely observed in the carbon fibre system and very slightly in the brass and steel systems, while remarkable degradation was observed in the copper and aluminium systems. This degradation was assumed to be due to the formation of an oxidized surface to increase the contact resistance between fillers. Stabilization of the thermal degradation of SE of the aluminium composite was possible to some extent when the aluminium surface was pretreated with certain reagents.

Recent progress in the modification of carbon materials and their application in composites for electromagnetic interference shielding

With the development in the modern technologies such as telecommunication instruments and scientific electronic devices, large amount of the electromagnetic radiations are produced, which lead to harmful effect on the highly sensitive electronic devices as well as on the health of human beings. To minimize the effect of electromagnetic radiations produced by different technologies, more efficient shielding materials are required which must be cost-effective, lightweight and good corrosion resistive. In this review, we focused on the shielding materials based on composites of carbon nanotubes and graphene. The typical surface modification of carbon nanotubes and graphene to optimize their interactions with polymers matrix has also summarized. It was found that the composites based on these carbon fillers were more efficient for electromagnetic interference shielding due to their unique properties (i.e., superior electrical, mechanical and thermal) together with lightweight, easy processing. Hence, the carbon nanotubes and graphene-based composites are excellent shielding materials against the electromagnetic radiations.     

Segregated poly(vinylidene fluoride)/MWCNTs composites for high-performance electromagnetic interference shielding

Conductive polymer composites (CPCs) that contain a segregated structure have attracted significant attentions because of their promising for fulfilling low filler contents with high electromagnetic interference (EMI) properties. In the present study, segregated poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF)/multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) composites were successfully prepared by mechanical mixing and hot compaction. The PVDF/MWCNTs samples with 7 wt% filler content possess high electrical conductivities and high EMI shielding effectiveness (SE), reaching 0.06 S cm⁻¹ and 30.89 dB (in the X-band frequency region), much higher than lots of reported results for CNT-based composites. And the EMI SE greatly increased across the frequency range as the sample thickness was improved from 0.6 to 3.0 mm. The EMI shielding mechanisms were also investigated and the results demonstrated absorption dominating shielding mechanism in this segregated material. This effective preparation method is simple, low-cost, and environmentally-friendly and has potential industrial applications in the future.

Broadband electromagnetic shielding and dielectric properties of polyaniline-stannous oxide composites

Conducting polyaniline-stannous oxide (PAni-SnO) composites were synthesized by the in situ polymerization of aniline in the presence of SnO. The composites formed were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). As there is a greater need for materials with electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding properties over a large operating frequency band, the present study highlights the dielectric and EMI shielding response of PAni-SnO composites in the microwave frequency range from 8 to 18 GHz (X and Ku bands). All the computations were based on microwave scattering parameters measured by transmission line waveguide technique. The EMI shielding effectiveness (EMI SE), return loss, microwave absorption and dielectric properties of the PAni-SnO composites were evaluated for various wt% of SnO (10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 wt%) in PAni. In X-band, the composites exhibits EMI SE in the range ?18 to ?23 dB, with microwave absorbance of 70–83 % and in the Ku-band, the composites exhibits EMI SE values of ?17.5 to ?22.5 dB with 67–85 % absorbance. Our investigations reveal that the PAni-SnO composites are potential candidates for EMI shielding applications for both the X and Ku bands.     

The manufacture and investigation of multi-walled carbon nanotube/polypyrrole/EVA nano-polymeric composites for electromagnetic interference shielding

In this study, the multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWNT)-polypyrrole (PPy) was synthesized by chemical oxidative polymerization using cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as the cationic surfactant. The high electric conductivity of the MWNT-PPy(Cl⁻) was affirmed by the measurement of 4-point-probe method. Then, the MWNT-PPy(Cl⁻) was used as conductive fillers and was compounded with ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) by blending to form polymeric composite (MWNT-PPy(Cl⁻)/EVA) that possesses excellent electromagnetic interference shielding (EMI SE). Because of the high conductivity of the MWNT-PPy(Cl⁻) (29/71 wt.%), the MWNT-PPy(Cl⁻) would interdict the conductive network in the composites. This polymeric composite material could shield the electromagnetic wave. As the cationic surfactant CTAB was added in the MWNT-PPy(Cl⁻) chemical oxidative polymerization process, the effect of the surfactant was dispersed, absorbed and attenuated on the MWNT in the chemical oxidative polymerization. For this reason, the EMI SE of the MWNT-PPy(Cl⁻)/EVA composites had an obvious improvement from 10-15 dB to 45-55 dB. In this investigation, the optimum conductive filler was 75.0 phr PPy(Cl⁻) coated on 18.0 phr MWNT. The morphology of the composite also presented a uniform conducting network when a lot of MWNT-PPy(Cl⁻) was added.     

The electromagnetic interference shielding effect of indium-zinc oxide/silver alloy multilayered thin films

A study was made to examine the electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding effect of multilayered thin films in which indium-zinc oxide (IZO) thin films and Ag or Ag alloy thin films were deposited alternately at room temperature using a RF magnetron sputtering. The optical, electrical and morphological properties of the constituent layers were analyzed using an ultraviolet-visible photospectrometer, a 4-point probe and an atomic force microscopy (AFM), respectively. The EMI shielding effect of the multilayered thin films was also measured using a coaxial transmission line method. A detailed analysis showed that the control of the film morphologies, i.e., the surface roughnesses of the constituent metal layers was essential to an accurate estimate of the electrical and optical properties of multilayered coatings. It was shown that properly designed IZO/Ag alloy multilayered thin films could yield a visible transmission of more than 70%, a sheet resistance of less than 1 Ω/sq., together with an EMI shielding effect larger than 45 dB in the range from 30 to 1000 MHz.     

Aerosol based fabrication of a Cu/polymer and its application for electromagnetic interference shielding

The effect of a catalytic surface activation on the electromagnetic interference shielding of Cu deposited polymer substrates was investigated. The surface of polymer substrates was catalytically activated by different methods respectively adopted Pd aerosol nanoparticles and Sn-Pd wet chemical processes. Although both activations initiated the deposition of Cu on the substrates, differences such as morphology (Pd aerosol: ~80 nm vs Sn-Pd: ~ 140 nm, in Cu grain size) and composition (Pd aerosol: Cu and Pd vs Sn-Pd: Cu, Pd, Sn, and Cl) of Cu deposits were presented. Specimens activated using Pd aerosol nanoparticles showed a higher range of shielding effectiveness by about 4-10 dB than those activated by Sn-Pd processes in 2-18 Ghz frequencies.     

Flexible reduced graphene oxide paper with excellent electromagnetic interference shielding for terahertz wave

Flexible and lightweight shielding materials recently have attracted increasing attention for terahertz wave due to the deteriorated performance of electronic equipment interferenced by electromagnetic yielding. Herein, flexible reduced graphene oxide (rGO) papers were prepared by solution evaporation method to attenuate the electromagnetic wave in terahertz field. They exhibited excellent electrical conductivity and remarkable electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness. The electrical conductivity of the rGO papers was improved from 54.07 to 78.67 S/cm after annealing at 400 °C. The rGO paper annealed at 400 °C was only ~?370 µm in thickness and particularly exhibited an outstanding absorption performance of 17.6 dB at 0.7 THz. It has been found that the maximum absorption performance of rGO papers was basically equivalent to that of the metamaterials. Moreover, electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness of 72.1 dB of the rGO papers was obtained at 0.6 THz, which indicated that ~?99.99% of the power was shielded. Thus, the flexible rGO papers maybe a promising candidate for optimized electromagnetic shielding materials in the terahertz band.     

Composite electromagnetic interference shielding materials for aerospace applications

Electromagnetic interference (EMI) occurs when electronic devices are subject to electromagnetic radiation from unwanted sources at the same frequency ranges that these devices operate. Metals typically serve as excellent EMI shielding agents, but their heavy weight, high cost and susceptibility to forms of environmental degradation make them an undesired choice for many current electronic devices. Conversely fibre reinforced polymeric (FRP) composite materials are normally light weight, and can be cheaper to produce, but typically lack the inherent EMI shielding capabilities that may be required. This research work addresses the viability FRP composite materials for use as EMI shielding structures, specifically for aerospace applications. It was found that carbon fibre could suffice this purpose, but likely required filler materials to enhance electrical conductivity and shielding effectiveness (SE).     

Tough graphene-polymer microcellular foams for electromagnetic interference shielding

Functional polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA)/graphene nanocomposite microcellular foams were prepared by blending of PMMA with graphene sheets followed by foaming with subcritical CO(2) as an environmentally benign foaming agent. The addition of graphene sheets endows the insulating PMMA foams with high electrical conductivity and improved electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding efficiency with microwave absorption as the dominant EMI shielding mechanism. Interestingly, because of the presence of the numerous microcellular cells, the graphene-PMMA foam exhibits greatly improved ductility and tensile toughness compared to its bulk counterpart. This work provides a promising methodology to fabricate tough and lightweight graphene-PMMA nanocomposite microcellular foams with superior electrical and EMI shielding properties by simultaneously combining the functionality and reinforcement of the graphene sheets and the toughening effect of the microcellular cells.
