“…Till now, diverse materials with improved MA performance have been obtained, including ferroelectric ceramics, [ 23–25 ] polymers, [ 26–28 ] as well as carbonaceous materials. [ 29–31 ] Recently, a class of metal carbide and metal nitride materials (MXene) with 2D‐layered structure has joined the family of novel MA‐related materials due to its high specific surface area, good conductivity, and metal‐like properties. [ 32–37 ] Controllable permittivity and exceptional EM performance have been achieved in a core‐shell reduced graphene oxide/MXene system by assembling the latter one as 3D hollow microspheres.…”

Microcosmic 3D hierarchical structural design has proved to be an effective strategy to obtain high-performance microwave absorbers, although the treatments to low-dimensional cells in monolithic framework are usually based on semiempirical rules. In this work, a hierarchical carbon fiber (CF)@MXene@MoS 2 (CMM) core-sheath synergistic structure with tunable and efficient microwave absorption (MA) properties is fabricated by introducing self-assembled Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene on the surface of CF and subsequent anchoring of MoS 2. By the synergistic effects from the MXene sheath increasing the conductive loss and MoS 2 at the outermost layer improving the impedance matching, the MA performance of CMM can be effectively regulated and optimized: the optimal reflection loss is −61.51 dB with a thickness of 3.5 mm and the maximum effective absorption bandwidth covers the whole Ku-band with 7.6 GHz at 2.1 mm. Meanwhile, the whole X-band absorption can also be achieved with specific MoS 2 loading at an optimized thickness.

“…Recently, more efforts have been made to seek for novel lightweight and high-performance EMI shielding materials [7][8][9][10][11][12]. Conductive polymer composites (CPCs) containing conductive nanofillers have excellent properties such as lightweight, excellent processability and resistance to corrosion compared with traditional metal-based EMI shielding materials [13][14][15][16]. CPCs with porous structures can further lighten the matrix weight and enhance the electrical performance of the composites even at a lower loading of fillers [17][18][19][20].…”

Interface Engineered Microcellular Magnetic Conductive Polyurethane Nanocomposite Foams for Electromagnetic Interference Shielding

Lightweight microcellular polyurethane (TPU)/carbon nanotubes (CNTs)/ nickel-coated CNTs (Ni@CNTs)/polymerizable ionic liquid copolymer (PIL) composite foams are prepared by non-solvent induced phase separation (NIPS). CNTs and Ni@CNTs modified by PIL provide more heterogeneous nucleation sites and inhibit the aggregation and combination of microcellular structure. Compared with TPU/CNTs, the TPU/CNTs/PIL and TPU/CNTs/Ni@CNTs/PIL composite foams with smaller microcellular structures have a high electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness (EMI SE). The evaporate time regulates the microcellular structure, improves the conductive network of composite foams and reduces the microcellular size, which strengthens the multiple reflections of electromagnetic wave. The TPU/10CNTs/10Ni@CNTs/PIL foam exhibits slightly higher SE values (69.9 dB) compared with TPU/20CNTs/PIL foam (53.3 dB). The highest specific EMI SE of TPU/20CNTs/PIL and TPU/10CNTs/10Ni@CNTs/PIL reaches up to 187.2 and 211.5 dB/(g cm−3), respectively. The polarization losses caused by interfacial polarization between TPU substrates and conductive fillers, conduction loss caused by conductive network of fillers and magnetic loss caused by Ni@CNT synergistically attenuate the microwave energy.

“…They are made from rayon, pitch, or polyacrylonitrile (PAN) precursor fibers that are heated in an inert atmosphere to about 3100 F (1700 C) to carbonize the fibers. [1][2][3] The outstanding features of composites are their high specific stiffness, high specific strength, and controlled anisotropy, which makes them very attractive materials. A unique feature of composites is that the characteristics of the finished product can be tailored to a specific engineering requirement (or ASTM standard) by a careful selection of reinforcement and matrix.…”

The carbon fiber-reinforced composites were prepared in a vacuum oven using pre-preg composites, and the edge surfaces of the composite coupons were treated using high performing adhesives to eliminate the free-edge effects. The primary objective of the study was to usefully address the free-edge effects of composites used in aircraft and other manufacturing industries. The mechanical test results conducted on the untreated and edge-treated test coupons showed that the edge treatment and fiber orientations significantly affected the tensile strength and quality of the composites. It is determined that applying adhesives on the edges of the coupons could improve the mechanical properties of the composites, about 11%. Successful testing and evaluation of materials can lead to the precise analysis of a structure, and predictable behavior of the end design. This study may open up new possibilities to enhance the overall mechanical properties of fiber-reinforced composites for various manufacturing industries.
