柔性、耐腐蚀三明治结构EPDM电磁屏蔽复合材料的制备与性能

Preparation and Properties of Flexible, Corrosion-resistant Sandwich Structure EPDM Electromagnetic Shielding Composite Materials

  • 摘要: 随着航空航天、5G、人工智能与物联网等技术的迅猛发展,复杂应用环境对电磁干扰(EMI)屏蔽材料提出了更高的性能要求。因此,开发集轻质、柔韧、耐温、耐溶剂与高效EMI屏蔽性能于一体的材料,以解决复杂电磁环境问题至关重要。本研究以耐溶剂、耐温的EPDM(三元乙丙橡胶)和POE(聚烯烃弹性体)为基体,以低成本的CNTs和Fe3O4为添加剂,采用逐层组装与热压工艺,构建了一系列柔性对称三明治结构EPDM复合材料。通过构筑“吸收层(POE-Fe3O4/EPDM)–反射层(POE-CNTs/EPDM)–吸收层(POE-Fe3O4/EPDM)”的结构,可有效降低电磁波在材料表面的初始反射,增强电磁波在材料内部的多次散射与吸收,进而提升材料的吸收系数与整体屏蔽效能。该复合材料在X波段的电磁屏蔽效能最高可达40.69 dB,吸收系数为0.45;当中间反射层引入多孔结构后,吸收系数进一步提高至0.57。此外,EPDM复合材料表现出优异的柔性(断裂伸长率达665%)、耐温和耐腐蚀性能。在经历500次弯曲循环、长期热处理和强酸碱溶液浸泡后,仍保持超过90%的屏蔽效能,展现出优异的电磁屏蔽耐候性。本工作提供了一种简便、低成本制备柔性电磁屏蔽材料的策略,该材料具备应对户外、高低温和酸碱等复杂环境的潜力。

     

    Abstract: Developing high-performance electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials is critical for addressing the increasingly complex electromagnetic environment. Herein, flexible, symmetric sandwich-structured POE-CNTs/EPDM/Fe3O4 composites were fabricated via layer-by-layer assembly followed by hot-pressing. By adopting an absorption-reflection-absorption hierarchical architecture, initial surface reflection of incident electromagnetic waves was effectively suppressed while multiple internal reflections and absorptions were enhanced, significantly boosting absorption capacity and overall shielding performance. The composite achieves a maximum EMI shielding effectiveness of 40.69 dB and an absorption coefficient of 0.45 in the X-band. Introducing a porous structure into the central reflection layer further elevates α to 0.57, confirming an absorption-dominated shielding mechanism. Notably, the material exhibits exceptional flexibility (elongation at break: 665%), thermal stability, and chemical resistance. After 500 bending cycles, prolonged thermal aging, or immersion in strong acid/alkali solutions, it retains over 90% of its initial SE, demonstrating outstanding durability. This work provides a simple, low-cost strategy for designing flexible EMI shielding materials, promising for applications in outdoor, high-temperature, and other harsh environments.
