Preparation and study of electromagnetic properties of graphene/graphite/bismuth oxide three-layer coated textile materials

Abstract

Three-layer coated composites with good electromagnetic properties were prepared on a plain polyester–cotton blended fabric with PU2540 polyurethane resin as a matrix; graphene, graphite and bismuth oxide were used as coating functional particles; and the influences of types of surface-layer functional particles, middle-layer functional particles and bottom-layer functional particles on electromagnetic properties of three-layer composites were explored. Results showed that when graphite, graphene and graphene were respectively used as bottom-layer, middle-layer and surface-layer functional particles, within the range of 1–1000 MHz, the polarization, dissipation and absorption-attenuation ability of the coated composite to electromagnetic waves was the strongest, and within the range of 10–3000 MHz, the wave-absorbing properties and shielding properties to electromagnetic waves of the coated composite were the strongest. When the frequency was 1600.7 MHz, the value of the reflection loss of the sample was the minimum, which reached –7.15 dB.
