摘要
To impart polymers with high electrical conductivity and satisfactory electromagnetic interference shielding efficiency,it is crucial to efficiently construct interconnecting networks of conductive nanofillers in polymer matrices.Herein,on the basis of the three-dimensional(3D)skeleton and volume-exclusion effect of silane-modified tetra-needle ZnO(ST-ZnO)whiskers and the high conductivity of two-dimensional MXene nanosheets,multifunctional MXene/ST-ZnO/waterborne polyurethane(MTW)nanocomposite films are fabricated by coating of MXene on ST-ZnO followed by compounding with waterborne polyurethane.The 3D four-needles of the whiskers facilitate the formation of an interconnecting network in the waterborne polyurethane matrix,while the coating of MXene efficiently makes the interconnecting network of the whiskers conductive at a low amount of the MXene.The resultant MTW ternary nanocomposite film exhibits not only a high electrical conductivity of 4.8×10^(4)S/m,but also an excellent electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness of over 70 dB in the X-band at a low thickness of 100µm.In addition,the ternary film also exhibits outstanding Joule heating performances with an equilibrium temperature of 113℃at a low driving voltage of 3 V.The multifunctional nanocomposite films are promising for applications in portable and wearable electronics and flexible electromagnetic interference shielding devices.
