Abstract
Conductive polymer composites(CPCs)have attracted significant interest in the field of flexible electro-magnetic protection,but the challenge of balancing high electromagnetic interference shielding effec-tiveness(EMI SE)and low reflection losses still exists.Herein,thermoplastic polyurethane/silver nanorod(TPU/AgNR)composite foams have been successfully prepared using both the salt template and vacuum-assisted thermal compression methods.By varying the AgNRs content and employing a layer-by-layer bonding approach,a gradient structure with optimized impedance matching is achieved.The"absorb-reflect-reabsorb"EM attenuation mechanism of the asymmetric gradient EMI shielding in the internal structure is exploited,resulting in TPU/AgNR foam(TAF)with high EMI SE and significantly reduced EM reflection.Notably,the three-layer foams exhibit an average shielding efficacy of 35.5 dB and a reflected power coefficient(R)of 0.085 in the X-band,thereby substantially mitigating secondary EM wave reflec-tions.Furthermore,these foams demonstrate exemplary compressive resilience,with the sample main-taining excellent EMI shielding stability even after undergoing 100 compression cycles at 50%strain.Consequently,a straightforward approach is employed to fabricate materials with high EMI SE and low reflectivity,offering the potential for use in EM shielding applications of next-generation flexible elec-tronic devices.
