Electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials with stretchability are important for developing wearable and flexible appliances. Herein, lithium bis(trifloromethanesulfonyl)imide (Li-TFSI)-doped poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) and carboxylated styrene-butadiene rubber (XSB) latex are used to prepare stretchable EMI shielding composite films of 0.2 mm in thickness. In these films, the doped PEDOT:PSS nanoparticles form tenuous conductive pathways between the hexagonally packed latex particles, resulting in higher EMI shielding efficiency (EMI SE) compared with the films containing traditional dopant ethylene glycol. For the purpose of stretchable EMI shielding, the films containing 6 wt % PEDOT:PSS and 6 wt % Li-TFSI demonstrate EMI SE of 50 and 30 dB (12.4 GHz) at 0 and 100% strains, respectively, being the highest values among the reported shielding composites except for those using liquid metal as the filler. The investigation also provides a simple and environmentally friendly preparation method being highlighted for the development of lightweight stretchable EMI shielding materials for applications in flexible electronics in the near future.

Titanium disulfide quantum dots (TiSQDs) has garnered significant research interest due to its distinctive electronic and optical properties. However, the effectiveness of TiSQDs in electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding is influenced by various factors, including their size, morphology, monodispersity, tunable bandgap, Stokes shift and interfacial effects. In this study, we propose a systematic approach for the synthesis of TiSQDs with small size (3.

Waste polyethylene (WPE) and virgin polyethylene (VPE) (50:50) thermoplastic have been melt-mixed with biochar (BC) made from orange peels at ratios of 5, 10, and 15(Phr) to evaluate how the filler content affected the mechanical, thermal, optical, electrical conductivity, and electromagnetic interference (EMI). γ-rays was applied to the prepared specimens to assess how radiation affected the created biocomposites. From the obtained results, the combination of BC with γ-rays, at doses of up to 100 kGy, with thermoplastic resulted in an enhanced mechanical property, particularly for composites containing 15 Phr of BC added because of its unique structure and excellent dispersion.
