Abstract

The fabrication of low-density and compressible polymer/graphene composite (PGC) foams for adjustable electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding remains a daunting challenge. Herein, ultralightweight and compressible PGC foams have been developed by simple solution dip-coating of graphene on commercial polyurethane (PU) sponges with highly porous network structure. The resultant PU/graphene (PUG) foams had a density as low as ∼0.027-0.030 g/cm(3) and possessed good comprehensive EMI shielding performance together with an absorption-dominant mechanism, possibly due to both conductive dissipation and multiple reflections and scattering of EM waves by the inside 3D conductive graphene network. Moreover, by…
