Near-Instantaneously Self-Healing Coating toward Stable and Durable Electromagnetic Interference Shielding.

ABSTRACT: Durable electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding is highly desired, as electromagnetic pollution is a great concern for electronics' stable performance and human health. Although a superhydrophobic surface can extend the service lifespan of EMI shielding materials, degradation of its protection capability and insufficient self-healing are troublesome issues due to unavoidable physical/chemical damages under long-term application conditions. Here, we report, for the first time, an instantaneously self-healing approach via microwave heating to achieve durable shielding performance. First, a hydrophobic 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorooctyltriethoxysilane (POTS) layer was coated on a polypyrrole (PPy)-modified fabric (PPy@POTS), enabling protection against the invasion of water, salt solution, and c
