Highlights: Highly flexible carbon ink-loaded polyester fabric/epoxy composites with outstanding mechanical durability and absorption-dominant EMI-shielding characteristics are fabricated. The fracture toughness is ~ 38.5 MPa m1/2 and electrical conductivity is maintained after 1000 bending cycles. A superior electromagnetic interference SE/t of ~ 66.8 dB mm–1 was observed in the X-band frequency with over 0.7 absorption coefficient, related to the hierarchical structures composed of macro-scaled voids from the polyester nonwoven fabric skeleton and nano-scaled networks from SWCNTs/rGO. Epoxy-based nanocomposites can be ideal electromagnetic interference (EMI)-shielding materials owing to their lightness, chemical inertness, and mechanical durability. However, poor conductivity and brittleness of the epoxy resin are challenges for fast-growing portable and flexible EMI-shielding applications, such as smart wristband, medical cloth, aerospace, and military equipment. In this study, we explored hybrid nanofillers of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT)/reduced graphene oxide (rGO) as conductive inks and polyester fabrics (PFs) as a substrate for flexible EMI-shielding composites. The highest electrical conductivity and fracture toughness of the SWCNT/rGO/PF/epoxy composites were 30.2 S m−1 and 38.5 MPa m1/2, which are ~ 270 and 65% enhancement over those of the composites without SWCNTs, respectively. Excellent mechanical durability was demonstrated by stable electrical conductivity retention during 1000 cycles of bending test. An EMI-shielding effectiveness of ~ 41 dB in the X-band frequency of 8.2–12.4 GHz with a thickness of 0.6 mm was obtained with an EM absorption-dominant behavior over a 0.7 absorption coefficient. These results are attributed to the hierarchical architecture of the macroscale PF skeleton and nanoscale SWCNT/rGO networks, leading to superior EMI-shielding performance. We believe that this approach provides highly flexible and robust EMI-shielding composites for next-generation wearable electronic devices. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
