▎ 摘  要

PMMA/graphene/Bentonite and PVC/graphene/Bentonite hybrid composites were prepared by solution casting method. Thermal stability, electrical conductivity and EMI shielding effectiveness in X-band were studied in detail. PVC composite with 5 wt.% Bentonite exhibited an enormous improvement in the thermal stability compared to the PVC/graphene counterpart. However, increase in Bentonite content in the hybrid composites reduced their electrical conductivity and resulted in lower overall shielding effectiveness in X band. The hybrid nanocomposites were found to have a significantly stronger influence of absorption in the overall shielding effectiveness when compared with respective polymer/graphene composites. The detailed microstructural/mechanical characterization elucidates the underlying mechanisms.
