Flexible and lightweight melamine sponge/MXene/polyborosiloxane (MSMP) hybrid structure for high-performance electromagnetic interference shielding and anti-impact safe-guarding

摘要

With the development of electronic devices, human beings are always disturbed by the widespread electromagnetic radiation. Meanwhile, the impact kinetic energy from external object will also cause injuries to precision electronic instrument itself and human body. Herein, a lightweight and flexible Melamine Sponge/MXene/Polyborosiloxane (MSMP) hybrid structure with both anti-impacting and electromagnetic shielding performance is proposed by incorporating conductive Ti3C2TX and polyborosiloxane (PBS) into porous melamine sponge (MS). The nanocomposite shows outstanding energy dissipation ability which can efficaciously degrade the external impact force due to the shear stiffening characteristic. Meanwhile, the nanocomposite presents an excellent electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding ability with a maximum SET value of 39 dB. Besides, the MSMP displays obvious adhesion property after being cut due to the viscoelastic property and internal supramolecular network of PBS, thus can repeatedly resist the external damage. Finally, a safety sports protective equipment is developed by integrating the MSMP nanocomposite into the common sportswear. Owing to the good integration of safe-guarding performance and EMI shielding properties, the MSMP nanocomposites show high prospective potential in precision electronic instruments and wearable protective equipment.
