Cellulose nanofiber (CNF) has been widely used as a flexible and lightweight polymer matrix for electromagnetic shielding and thermally conductive composite films because of its excellent mechanical strength, environmental performance, and low cost. However, the lack of flame retardancy seriously hinders its further application. Herein, renewable and biomass-sourced Larginine (AR) was used to surface-modify ammonium polyphosphate (APP) and an environmentally friendly biobased flame retardant was synthesized by the coordination of zinc sulfate heptahydrate (ZnSO 4 •7H 2 O), which was named AAZ. AAZ was deposited on the surface of CNF by electrostatic adsorption and Zn 2+ complexation. The biobased compatibilizer Triton X-100 was employed to assist the exfoliation of graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) and their dispersion in the CNF matrix. Due to the formation of a dense lamellar layer resembling a shell structure, the CNF/GNPs composite films with a tensile strength of 52 MPa were obtained via vacuum-assisted filtration. Because the phosphorus-containing group produces a protective layer of P x O y compound and promotes the formation of a carbon layer by CNF and the combustion releases ammonia gas, the fire-resistant performance of the composite films was greatly improved. Compared with the pure CNF film, the composite film exhibits 33% reduction in PHRR value and 40% reduction in THR. In addition, the CNF/GNPs composite film with 20 wt % GNPs possessed high conductivity (2079.2 S/m) and electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding effectiveness (37 dB). The ultrathin CNF/GNPs composite films have excellent potential for use as efficient flame retardant and EMI shielding materials.
