Summary: This study proposes a novel method of fabricating nanohybrid particles composed of carbon nanotubes and carbonyl iron powder (CNT@CIP), which are then embedded in a polymer for use as electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding. The electrical conductivity and EMI shielding effectiveness of the resulting composites increase with increasing CNT@CIP nanohybrid particles contents. The alignment of the CNT@CIP hybrid particles caused by magnetization curing improves the properties of the composites, reducing the amount of conductive fillers required.

Summary: Barium ferrite (BaFe12O19) is a potential microwave absorption material, but the performance is limited by the poor dispersion of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in the composites prepared by ball-milling method. In this study, CNTs were uniformly introduced into the precursor of BaFe12O19 during the auto-ignition process and calcined under different atmospheres. The resulting CNT/BaFe12O19 composites exhibited significantly improved microwave absorption performance compared to pure BaFe12O19 and CNT/BaFe12O19 composites prepared by ball-milling method.

Summary: A strategy of constructing three-dimensional network structures of graphene/CNT/polypyrrole by electrochemical deposition is proposed to improve the EMI shielding effectiveness of polypyrrole composite films. The graphene/CNT/polypyrrole films consist of graphene/CNT substrates as skeletons and polypyrrole as bridges to form percolation networks in the multiphase and multihierarchical nanocomposites. With a deposition time of 80 min, the polypyrrole content increases to 30 wt%, the conductivity improves by 27.7%, and the EMI shielding effectiveness improves by 11.4% at X-band. The final film thickness is 249 μm, the conductivity is 3.06 S/mm, and the average EMI shielding effectiveness is 59.6 dB.

Summary: The development of microwave absorbing technology has increased the demand for all-band absorption. Topological structures can expand the frequency range of absorption and eliminate differences caused by scattering in different incident directions. Filaments made from a hybrid material of multi-wall carbon nanotubes and carbonyl iron particles mixed with polylactic polymer were used to test the distribution characteristics in the key absorption frequency band. The reflectivity of the honeycomb structure in X and Ku bands was experimentally verified.

Summary: This paper presents a comprehensive study on the magneto-sensing properties of a conductive polymeric composite incorporating carbon nanotube (CNT) and carbonyl iron powder (CIP), aiming to evaluate its potential as a magneto-sensor. Experimental results show that the CNT contents within the percolation threshold range exhibit optimal values for sensor applications, achieving high sensitivity and fast response time. Thus, the CNT-CIP composite is confirmed to have a high potential for implementing as magneto-sensors.

Summary: Carbon nanotube/polylactic acid (CNT/PLA) materials with different CNT contents were fabricated using 3D printing technology. These materials demonstrated light weight, environmental protection, and good chemical stability. 3D-printed CNT/PLA composites showed improved mechanical properties, conductive behaviors, and electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding compared to pure 3D-printed PLA composites. The EMI shielding effectiveness (SE) of the composites increased with higher CNT content, reaching up to 47.1 dB (shielding 99.998% of electromagnetic energy) at 15 wt% CNT. The EMI shielding mechanism of the composites was mainly absorption loss, accounting for over 80% of the total shielding loss. These excellent properties make 3D-printed CNT/PLA composites highly promising for industrial and aerospace applications.

Summary: In this study, a novel corrosion-resistant graphene-based carbon-coated iron magnetic composite foam was fabricated by self-assembly and high-temperature annealing. The optimized impedance matching and attenuation characteristic of the foam facilitated efficient dissipation of electromagnetic waves, which could be controlled by optimizing annealing temperature and time. The formation of a carbon-coated iron structure improved the corrosion resistance, stability, and durability of the composite foam.
