Abstract
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) is becoming commonplace with the development of modern electronics. In this work, a series of conductive polymer composite fabrics that have high EMI shielding effectiveness (SE), high mechanical strength, and resilience to adverse conditions were prepared. Crosslinked hyperbranched polyamidoamine (referred to as xHP-Qy) was used to create a conductive Ag layer tightly bound to the underlying matrix of poly(meta-phenylene isophthalamide) (PMIA). The morphology and physicochemical properties of the starting materials, intermediates, and the final PMIA/xHP-Qy/Ag fabrics were characterized extensively. The PMIA matrix and the Ag layer were connected by the xHP-Qy that had a distinct antenna-shaped structure. The lowest resistivity and highest EMI SE of the fabrics were 2.37 × 10−3 Ω·cm and 107.66 dB, respectively. It was further verified by finite element simulation that the PMIA/xHP-Qy/Ag had an exceptional EMI shielding performance. The fabrics maintained their superior performance despite harsh environments (high/low temperature, high humidity, strong acid/alkali, solvents, salt spray corrosion) or mechanical deformations (bending-stretching, winding-releasing, abrading). The developed strategy thus created access to resilient functional materials suitable for use in highly demanding scenarios.
