Abstract
The monodispersion of magnetic nanoparticles in conducting polymer is the prerequisite to make a high quality composite for tunable electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding. To meet this challenge, we have designed and synthesized ferrofluid based nanoarchitectured polypyrrole composites containing Fe3O4 (8-12 nm) via in situ oxidative polymerization. To tune the microwave signals, polypyrrole composites (PFF) with different monomer/ferrofluid weight ratios have been prepared and characterized in microwave frequency domain. A maximum shielding effectiveness value of SEA(max)) = 20.4 dB (similar to 99% attenuation) due to the absorption of microwave has been observed in the frequency range of 12.4-18 GHz and attenuation level varied with ferrofluid loading. The electrical conductivity of PFF composite is of the order of 10(-2) S cm(-1) order and having superparamagnetic nature with saturation magnetization (M-s) of 5.5 emu g(-1). The lightweight PFF composites with high attenuations can provide full control over the atomic structure and are favorable for the practical EMI shielding application for commercial electronic appliances.
