Abstract
As the fast advancement of communication technologies and flexible electronics, the demand for multifunctional electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials for special applications is increasing. Herein, we fabricated flexible, multifunctional carboxylate carbon nanotubes-Co@carbon nanotube/polyimide (PCCo) composite films for EMI shielding and Joule heating using a simple scraping coating method followed by a thermal treatment. The addition of carboxylated carbon nanotubes (CCNT) and Co@carbon nanotube (Co@CNT) increased conductivity of PCCo film while also achieving efficient impedance matching. With a thickness of only 70 μm, the film demonstrates an EMI shielding effectiveness (EMI SE) of 31.91 dB along with a specific shielding effectiveness (SSE) as high as 455.71 dB/mm, while also maintaining long-term stability under extreme conditions. Additionally, the film can rapidly reach 144.5 °C under a 6 V voltage and demonstrates excellent prolonged Joule heating stability. Therefore, the fabricated composite film holds significant promise in communication devices and wearable technology applications.
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.
