Abstract:
The demand for high-strength, flexible, and multifunctional electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials has significantly increased in many fields. Herein, inspired by reinforced concrete pouring in construction, we propose a "consolidating" method to successfully fabricate flame-retardant thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) reinforced bacterial cellulose (BC)/MXene/modified silicon carbide nanowires (MSiCnw) aerogel composites. The obtained aerogel composites have a disordered pore structure, in which BC/MXene/MSiCnw is used as the internal skeleton, and the tightly attached flame retardant TPU sheet is used as the protective layer. The assynthesized aerogel composites possess excellent mechanical properties, withstanding repeated compression and exhibiting a compressive strength of 8.86 kPa which is 735.8% higher than that of BC aerogel. At a low MXene content (6.17 wt%), the aerogel composite exhibits an EMI utilization efficiency of 1209.08 dB/g g-1 and an average EMI shielding effectiveness of up to 81.6 dB (K-band). Furthermore, the aerogel composites show excellent flame retardant property (69.8% reduction in peak of heat release rate). More interestingly, the aerogel composite displays satisfactory thermal insulation performances and reaches a low thermal conductivity of 34.4 mW/m K-1. Overall, the as-prepared highly fire safe BC/MXene/MSiCnw/FRTPU aerogel composites show multifunctional properties, making them suitable for applications in electromagnetic shielding and thermal insulation.
