A Facile Fabrication of PA12/CNTs Nanocomposites with Enhanced Three-Dimensional Segregated Conductive Networks and Electromagnetic Interference Shielding Property through Selective Laser Sintering.

ABSTRACT: The material design could be very critical in the preparation of conductive polymer composites for electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding applications. In this work, two methods were proposed to prepare PA12 composite powders coated with CNTs, including ball-milling (BM) and ultrasonic dispersion-liquid phase deposition strategies. Then, by applying selective laser sintering printing (SLS) 3D printing, the segregated network structures were successfully constructed. Various characterization techniques were employed to validate the presence of the formed segregated network structure in the SLS 3D printed parts. The BM SLS 3D printed part at a loading of 5.66 wt % CNTs exhibited an optimum electrical conductivity of 3.0 S/m and an electromagnetic interference shielding (EMI SE) of 23.9
