Abstract
The integrated preparation strategy of multi-layer foam materials is expected to meet the demand for frequency-selective electromagnetic shielding properties. In this study, a synergistic regulation strategy of magnetic field and supercritical CO2 foaming technology was employed to achieve the parallel alternate arrangement of conductive layers and porous layers. The impact of the layered cell structure in liquid silicone rubber/ ferrosoferric oxide modified graphene/ carbon nanotube (LSR/Fe3O4@G/CNT) on the electromagnetic shielding performance in the X-band (8.4 GHz–12.4 GHz) was systematically investigated. The results demonstrate that the electromagnetic shielding effectiveness (SET) of the unfoamed material remained stable at 11.4 dB. In contrast, the layered foam material exhibited frequency-selective electromagnetic shielding characteristics and the maximum SET reaching 33.4 dB after foaming. By adjusting the foaming parameters, the position of the shielding peak can be effectively regulated, enabling the multi-layered silicone rubber foam to achieve high shielding efficiency within specific frequency bands.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Supercritical Fluids is an international journal devoted to the fundamental and applied aspects of supercritical fluids and processes. Its aim is to provide a focused platform for academic and industrial researchers to report their findings and to have ready access to the advances in this rapidly growing field. Its coverage is multidisciplinary and includes both basic and applied topics.
Thermodynamics and phase equilibria, reaction kinetics and rate processes, thermal and transport properties, and all topics related to processing such as separations (extraction, fractionation, purification, chromatography) nucleation and impregnation are within the scope. Accounts of specific engineering applications such as those encountered in food, fuel, natural products, minerals, pharmaceuticals and polymer industries are included. Topics related to high pressure equipment design, analytical techniques, sensors, and process control methodologies are also within the scope of the journal.
