Improving the EMI shielding of graphene oxide (GNO)-coated glass-fiber-GNO-MA-grafted polypropylene (PP) composites and nylon 1D-2D nanocomposite foams.

The proliferation of the latest electronic gadgets and wireless communication devices can trigger electromagnetic interference (EMI), which has a detrimental impact on electronic devices and humans. Efficient EMI shielding materials are required for EMI-SE and they should be durable in external environments, lightweight, and cost-effective. GNO-coated glass-fiber-GNO-maleic anhydride-grafted polypropylene (MAPP) composite and carbon fiber-reinforced nylon 1D-2D nanocomposite foam were successfully prepared a cost-effective thermal process.

Acridine Based Small Molecular Hole Transport Type Materials for Phosphorescent OLED Application.

Two small molecular hole-transporting type materials, namely 4-(9,9-dimethylacridin-10(9)-yl)--(4-(9,9-dimethylacridin-10(9)-yl)phenyl)--phenylaniline (TPA-2ACR) and 10,10'-(9-phenyl-9-carbazole-3,6-diyl)bis(9,9-dimethyl-9,10-dihydroacridine) (PhCAR-2ACR), were designed and synthesized using a single-step Buchwald-Hartwig amination between the dimethyl acridine and triphenylamine or carbazole moieties. Both materials showed high thermal decomposition temperatures of 402 and 422 °C at 5% weight reduction for PhCAR-2ACR and TPA-2ACR, respectively. TPA-2ACR as hole-transporting material exhibited excellent current, power, and external quantum efficiencies of 55.

EMI Shielding of the Hydrophobic, Flexible, Lightweight Carbonless Nano-Plate Composites.

The cost-effective spray coated composite was successfully synthesis and characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction techniques. The one step synthetic strategy was used for the synthesis of nanoplates that have a crystalline nature. The composites are amorphous and hydrophobic with micron thickness (<400 m).

Recent Advancement of Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) Shielding of Two Dimensional (2D) MXene and Graphene Aerogel Composites.

The two Dimensional (2D) materials such as MXene and graphene, are most promising materials, as they have attractive properties and attract numerous application areas like sensors, supper capacitors, displays, wearable devices, batteries, and Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) shielding. The proliferation of wireless communication and smart electronic systems urge the world to develop light weight, flexible, cost effective EMI shielding materials. The MXene and graphene mixed with polymers, nanoparticles, carbon nanomaterial, nanowires, and ions are used to create materials with different structural features under different fabrication techniques.

An effective utilization of MXene and its effect on electromagnetic interference shielding: flexible, free-standing and thermally conductive composite from MXene-PAT-poly(-aminophenol)-polyaniline co-polymer.

MXene and conductive polymers are attractive candidates for electromagnetic interference shielding (EMI) applications. The MXene-PAT-conductive polymer (CP) composites were fabricated by a cost-effective spray coating technique and characterized using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectroscopy. A new approach has been developed for the synthesis of exfoliated MXene.
