Autocatalytic deposition of copper coating on poly (ether ether ketone)/multiwalled carbon nanotubes composites via a palladium-free and simplified electroless process

Novel Environmentally Benign and Low-Cost Pd-free Electroless Plating Method Using Ag Nanosol as an Activator

“…6 (b)-(e). Similar images can be found in the results of Zhai et al [24]. They used Cu as an activator on a poly(ether ether ketone) multiwalled carbon nanotube composite substrate for electroless Cu plating.…”

Electrochemical biosensor based on Cu/Cu2O nanocrystals and reduced graphene oxide nanocomposite for sensitively detecting ractopamine

“…The finding corresponded with the FT-IR result with the peak of 630 cm −1 . In addition, a broad small peak existed from 941 eV to 945 eV which corresponded to Cu 2p satellites of Cu 2+ [35]. The same result was obtained for the Cu 2p core-level XPS spectrum (Fig.…”

Light weight and flexible poly(ether ether ketone) based composite film with excellent thermal stability and mechanical properties for wide-band electromagnetic interference shielding

“…Up to now, much effort has been directed at developing thin, lightweight, exible, and corrosion-resistant new-generation smart materials capable of strong EM radiation absorption over a wide frequency range. 9,10 Compared to conventional metal based EMI shielding materials, polymer composites containing carbon-based conductive llers exhibit the advantages of being lightweight, exible, corrosion-resistant, and easily processable. 11,12 Specically, multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are excellent llers for EMI shielding materials owing to their unique electrical, mechanical, and thermal properties.…”

“…13,16 However, low-melt-viscosity PEEK is not suitable to produce exible and thin composite lms, using high-meltviscosity PEEK as lm matrix is necessary and still a challenge, since the low melt index and high melt viscosity properties of the high-melt-viscosity PEEK severely lead to failure of the ller dispersion and lm processing. Besides, the EMI shielding effectiveness (EMI SE) of materials has mostly been evaluated in a narrow frequency range (8)(9)(10)(11)(12) GHz, X band), [22][23][24][25] necessitating the development of advanced materials with good EMI SE in a wider frequency range of 8-40 GHz, which covers the bands used by civil, commercial, and military applications. 20 In the present study, a series of PEEK/wrapped MWCNT/ GENIOPLAST® PELLET S (GPPS) composite lms with high exible, good thermal and mechanical properties were prepared and applied to EMI shielding materials for the rst time.…”
