Interfacing MXene Flakes on a Magnetic Fiber Network as a Stretchable, Flexible, Electromagnetic Shielding Fabric

Zhen Miao et al.

Summary: A unique self-standing membrane composed of hierarchical thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU)/polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fibers is prepared by the electrospinning technique, followed by a simple dip-coating process. Fe3O4 nanoparticles are uniformly anchored on TPU/PAN fibers during the electrospinning process, enabling the membrane to achieve effective electromagnetic interference shielding (EMI SE) performance. When MXene (Ti3C2Tx) layers are further loaded on the TPU/PAN/Fe(3)O(4)NPs hybrid membrane, its EMI SE performance in the X band can exceed 30 dB due to the hydrogen bonds generated between the macromolecular chain of PAN and the functional group (T-x) on the surface of MXene. Simultaneously, the interfacial attraction between MXene and the TPU/PAN/Fe(3)O(4)NPs substrate is enhanced. The EMI SE mechanism of the hybrid membrane indicates its great potential in the fields of wearable devices and flexible materials.
