Abstract
The extensive use of wireless communication devices has resulted in severe electromagnetic interference (EMI), which has driven the need for advanced EMI shielding materials. In this study, a twin-coated skeleton hybrid aerogel was constructed from para-aramid nanofibers (p-ANFs), MXene (Ti3C2Tx) flakes, and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) chains via a freeze-drying route. The robust chains of p-ANFs established a skeleton with a unique porous structure and reversible compressibility. The twin-coated cloth was composed of 28 wt% PEDOT:PSS and 20 wt% MXene, which endowed the PEDOT:PSS/MXene/p-ANFs hybrid aerogel with efficient EMI shielding properties. The shielding effectiveness (SE) and specific shielding effectiveness (SEE/t) in the X band (8.2–12.4 GHz) reached 41.27 dB and 3063.7 dB·cm2·g−1, respectively. Interestingly, the EMI shielding capacity was controlled by the PEDOT:PSS and MXene contents and the PEDOT:PSS/MXene ratio. Moreover, the twin-coated hybrid aerogel exhibited outstanding compressive resilience, with a maximum compressive stress of 61.72 kPa under strain of 60% after 500 cycles. In addition, the relationship between the structure deformation and power coefficient of aerogels was constructed. Thus, this study provides a feasible route for fabricating aerogels with compressibility and efficient EMI shielding performance.
期刊介绍:
Advanced Composites and Hybrid Materials is a leading international journal that promotes interdisciplinary collaboration among materials scientists, engineers, chemists, biologists, and physicists working on composites, including nanocomposites. Our aim is to facilitate rapid scientific communication in this field.
The journal publishes high-quality research on various aspects of composite materials, including materials design, surface and interface science/engineering, manufacturing, structure control, property design, device fabrication, and other applications. We also welcome simulation and modeling studies that are relevant to composites. Additionally, papers focusing on the relationship between fillers and the matrix are of particular interest.
Our scope includes polymer, metal, and ceramic matrices, with a special emphasis on reviews and meta-analyses related to materials selection. We cover a wide range of topics, including transport properties, strategies for controlling interfaces and composition distribution, bottom-up assembly of nanocomposites, highly porous and high-density composites, electronic structure design, materials synergisms, and thermoelectric materials.
Advanced Composites and Hybrid Materials follows a rigorous single-blind peer-review process to ensure the quality and integrity of the published work.
