Abstract
Stretchability and flexibility are essential characteristics for high-performance electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials in wearable and smart devices. However, achieving these mechanical properties while also maintaining high EMI shielding effectiveness (SE) for shielding materials remains a significant challenge. Here, a stretchable patterned carbon nanotube (CNT) array composite film, reinforced with two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials (Ti3C2Tx and graphene), is fabricated using a straightforward scraping method. The resulting CNT array/Ti3C2Tx/graphene composite films possess a periodic grid structure. Specifically, the composite film with a regular hexagonal pattern demonstrates an EMI SE of 36.5 dB in the X-band at a thickness of 350 μm. Additionally, the composite film exhibits excellent stretchability, flexibility, and stability. After undergoing 10,000 stretching cycles, the EMI SE remains stable. Simulation results further indicate that surface reflection is the primary EMI shielding mechanism. This simple scraping method offers a promising approach for developing stretchable and high-performance EMI shielding films, making them well suited for application in flexible devices.
期刊介绍:
Nanomaterials (ISSN 2076-4991) is an international and interdisciplinary scholarly open access journal. It publishes reviews, regular research papers, communications, and short notes that are relevant to any field of study that involves nanomaterials, with respect to their science and application. Thus, theoretical and experimental articles will be accepted, along with articles that deal with the synthesis and use of nanomaterials. Articles that synthesize information from multiple fields, and which place discoveries within a broader context, will be preferred. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical research in as much detail as possible. Full experimental or methodical details, or both, must be provided for research articles. Computed data or files regarding the full details of the experimental procedure, if unable to be published in a normal way, can be deposited as supplementary material. Nanomaterials is dedicated to a high scientific standard. All manuscripts undergo a rigorous reviewing process and decisions are based on the recommendations of independent reviewers.
