With
the problem of electromagnetic interference (EMI) increasingly
serious, the development of lightweight and flexible electromagnetic
shielding composite films with excellent Joule heating performance
and good mechanical properties is of great significance for modern
electronic devices. In this study, we prepared aramid nanofiber/aramid
nanofiber-poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulfonate)/polydopamine-modified
reduced graphene oxide (ANF/APP/PRGO) composite films with excellent
electromagnetic shielding properties and electrical heating properties
by stepwise vacuum filtration. With high conductivity (124.10 S/cm)
and multi-interface electromagnetic wave reflection caused by the
layered structure, the composite films achieve an EMI shielding effectiveness
(SE) as high as 40.52 dB at 8.2–12.4 GHz (X-band) with a low
thickness (∼22 μm). At the same time, the composite films
also exhibit excellent electrical heating performance with fast response
and cycle stability, which can reach a surface saturation temperature
as high as 127.6 °C under an applied voltage of 7 V. Therefore,
it can be envisaged that the ANF/APP/PRGO composite films have certain
practical application value in the fields of electromagnetic shielding
and electric heating.
