Abstract

There is a need for scalable technologies to reduce electromagnetic pollution with materials of low density and low carbon footprint. Unfortunately, environmental adaptability, economic feasibility and lightweight are factors that are still far from optimal in most electromagnetic shielding materials. Herein, we address these challenges with polybutylene succinate (PBS) reinforced with bamboo fibers functionalized with Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles (Fe₃O₄-NPs) and polypyrrole (PPy). Such hybrid system was compatibilized via polydopamine (PDA) coupling, demonstrating magnetic, dielectric and interfacial polarization losses as well as distributed reflection, yielding a shielding effectiveness of ~36.9 dB. Simultaneously, the composite displayed gains in tensile strength and modulus (by 18 and 38%, respectively) combined with improved flexural strength and modulus (by 33% and 15%, respectively). Overall, this work demonstrates a new pathway toward low cost and lightweight bio-based materials for high-performance electromagnetic shielding.
