用于高电磁屏蔽的适应性液态金属腻子

摘要: 利用液态金属(LM)开发兼具高形变能力、高导电性和高导热性的可拉伸导体,在柔性电子、电磁干扰屏蔽(EMI)和多功能材料领域引发了广泛关注。然而,由于液态金属表面张力极大且对软质聚合物基底的润湿性差,直接在柔性基材上涂覆液态金属制备理想屏蔽材料仍存在挑战。本研究通过超声破碎法将镓基合金与金刚石非金属颗粒混合,制备出镓基复合膏体。该液态金属复合腻子(LMP)在不同温度下可呈现软硬特性,因而能根据应用需求模塑成特定形状。此外,该复合材料可轻松涂覆于热塑性聚氨酯(TPU)弹性体等聚合物基底上。所制备的LMP-TPU复合材料展现出1100%的惊人形变能力,在保持卓越拉伸性能的同时,实现了高达52 dB的电磁干扰屏蔽效能。即使在600%应变条件下,仍能保持20000 S/m的超高电导率,这一特性使其成为极具竞争力的多功能材料。

 

Adaptable liquid metal putty for high electromagnetic shielding

Abstract: The development of stretchable conductors with high deformation, conductivity, and thermal conductivity using liquid metal (LM) has sparked widespread interest in the fields of flexible electronics, electromagnetic interference (EMI), and multifunctional materials. However, fabricating desirable shielding materials by directly coating LMs on soft polymer substrates remains a challenge because of the huge surface tension and weak wettability of LMs. In this study, Ga-based composite paste is prepared from a mixture of Ga and diamond nonmetallic particles through ultrasonic fragmentation. At various temperatures, the resulting LM composite putty (LMP) exhibits soft and hard properties and can thus be molded into specific shapes according to application needs. In addition, the composite can be easily coated onto polymer substrates, such as thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) elastomer. The fabricated LMP–TPU exhibits an impressive shape deformation capacity of 1100%, demonstrating exceptional tensile properties and achieving electromagnetic interference–shielding effectiveness of up to 52 dB. Furthermore, it retains an ultrahigh conductivity of 20000 S/m, even under a strain of 600%. This feature further makes it a highly competitive multifunctional material.
