Abstract
Polyimide (PI) foam exhibits excellent high-temperature resistance and outstanding physical and chemical stability, making it an ideal matrix for absorbing materials. However, the growing demand for absorbing materials that can serve as load-bearing components has revealed that existing polyimide composite foams often fall short of practical application requirements due to their low mechanical properties. The study employed a simple foaming method using isocyanate-based polyimide as the foam base under a 0.2 MPa atm. Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and carbonyl iron (CI) powder were added sequentially to the precursor solution. Under the filling parameters of 2.0 % MWCNTs and 10 % CI powder, the compressive strength of polyimide composite foam reaches 16.2 MPa and exhibits excellent microwave absorption properties, with a minimum reflection loss (RLmin) of −62.51 dB and an effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) of 7.86 GHz. Additionally, the prepared composite foam has potential infrared stealth capability. This work offers new insights for rapid and low-cost manufacturing of high-strength absorbing foam.
期刊介绍:
Composites Communications (Compos. Commun.) is a peer-reviewed journal publishing short communications and letters on the latest advances in composites science and technology. With a rapid review and publication process, its goal is to disseminate new knowledge promptly within the composites community. The journal welcomes manuscripts presenting creative concepts and new findings in design, state-of-the-art approaches in processing, synthesis, characterization, and mechanics modeling. In addition to traditional fiber-/particulate-reinforced engineering composites, it encourages submissions on composites with exceptional physical, mechanical, and fracture properties, as well as those with unique functions and significant application potential. This includes biomimetic and bio-inspired composites for biomedical applications, functional nano-composites for thermal management and energy applications, and composites designed for extreme service environments.
