Fabrication and Characterization of Carbon Nanotube/Cellulose Composite Paper

  • Chapter
Handbook of Polymer Nanocomposites. Processing, Performance and Application

Abstract

Carbon nanotube (CNT)/cellulose composite materials were fabricated in a papermaking process optimized to form a CNT network on cellulose fibers. The measured electrical conductivity ranged from 0.05 to 671 S/m for a CNT content of 0.5–16.7 wt%, which was higher than that for other polymer composites. The measured temperature dependences of electrical conductivity were described with the fluctuation-induced tunneling model. The real permittivities were the highest in the microwave region. The unique CNT network structure is thought to be the reason for the high conductivity and permittivity values. Our CNT/cellulose composite material exhibited improved parameters without any decrease in mechanical strength, compared to other carbon materials. The near-field electromagnetic shielding effectiveness (EMI SE) measured using a microstrip line method depended on the sheet conductivity and qualitatively matched the results of electromagnetic field simulations using a finite-difference time-domain simulator. A high near-field EMI SE of 50 dB was achieved in the 5–10-GHz frequency region with 4.8-wt% composite paper. The far-field EMI SE was measured using a free-space method. Fairly good agreement was obtained between the measured and calculated results. Approximately 10-wt% CNT is required to achieve composite paper with 20-dB far-field EMI SE.
