Flame retardant materials and properties

A highly efficient electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding waterborne polyurethane (WPU) composite film with low microwave reflectivity is designed by constructing an FeCo alloy decoration reduced graphene oxide ([email protected]) /nano silver (Ag) layered structure. The [email protected] layer formed by natural sedimentation at the bottom of the WPU film acts as a microwave absorption layer, and the ultra-thin Ag layer covered on the top surface serves as a highly efficient shielding layer. This unique layered structure combines the microwave-reflecting characteristic of nano Ag and the microwave-absorbing characteristic of [email protected] to achieve strong microwave shielding effectiveness (SE) with low microwave reflection. The obtained Ag/[email protected]/WPU composite film (10 wt% [email protected] and Ag layer of 500 nm in thickness), which is only 300 μm in thickness, possesses an outstanding EMI SE of 50.5 dB and the microwave reflection coefficient is as low as 0.49 (average SER of 3.2 dB). This flexible and highly efficient shielding film with extremely low reflectivity is suitable for application in portable and wearable smart electronics, and this strategy offers a new method for designing the flexible electromagnetic interference shielding materials with low reflection characteristic.
