With the continuous improvement of living standards and
advancements
in science and technology, composite materials with multiple functionalities
are gaining high practical value in modern society. In this paper,
we present a multifunctional conductive paper-based composite with
electromagnetic (EMI) shielding, sensing, Joule heating, and antimicrobial
properties. The composite is prepared by growing metallic silver nanoparticles
inside the cellulose paper (CP) modified with polydopamine (PDA).
The resulting CP@PDA@Ag (CPPA) composite has high conductivity and
EMI shielding properties. Furthermore, CPPA composites demonstrate
exceptional sensing, Joule heating, and antimicrobial properties.
In addition, Vitrimer, a polymer with excellent cross-linked network
structure, is introduced into CPPA composites to obtain CPPA-V intelligent
electromagnetic shielding materials with shape memory function. These
excellent properties show that the prepared multifunctional intelligent
composite has exceptional EMI shielding, sensing, Joule heating, and
antibacterial and shape memory properties. In short, this multifunctional
intelligent composite material has great application prospects in
flexible wearable electronics.
