Abstract

This work demonstrates the fabrications and characterizations of polyaniline (PAni) composites containing single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), graphite nanosheets (GNS), or hybrid fillers (SWCNTs/GNS). The characterization of microstructure, examination of fracture surface morphologies, and measurement of electric conductivity and electromagnetic interference shielding efficiency (EMI SE) were performed. It was found that both the electric conductivity and the EMI SE increase with filler loading, and the nanocomposites filled with 1.0 wt.% SWCNTs/GNS possessed the highest electric conductivity of 16.2 S/cm and total EMI SE of 27.0 dB. The experimental results also show that absorption is the primary mechanism of EMI SE for all of the loadings and fillers.
