  • Characterization of electromagnetic shielding performance, mechanical flexibility, and absorption-reflection-reabsorption mechanisms.

Main Results:

  • The Co-CNT hydrogel film demonstrated favorable dielectric and magnetic loss properties.
  • A multi-layer structure enhanced electromagnetic wave dissipation through an "absorption-reflection-reabsorption" mechanism.
  • The final CNT/Co-CNT multi-layer hydrogel achieved 41 dB shielding effectiveness at 0.7 mm thickness with >85% absorption/total shielding.

Conclusions:

  • The developed CNT/Co-CNT multi-layer hydrogel offers superior electromagnetic shielding performance and mechanical flexibility compared to existing materials.
  • This research presents a novel approach for creating intelligent flexible EMI shielding materials.
  • Potential applications include wearable smart devices and military technology.
