pi-pi stacking interface design strategy is proposed to prepare ultrathin and flexible water-borne polymer/sulfonated graphene nanosheets (S-GNS) composite by a facile self-assembly method in latex. The water-dispersible S-GNS was made by modifying the GNS with aryl diazonium salt. Styrene was introduced into water-borne polymer to form pi-pi stacking interaction with S-GNS. The composite shows good mechanical properties and high electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding effectiveness (SE) in the X band (8.2-12.4 GHz). By Raman spectra, tensile tests, and simulation calculation, pi-pi stacking interaction is proved to be an effective interface bonding to enhance the mechanical properties. With a filler loading of 20 wt%, the tensile strength of composites is enhanced by 578%. The incorporation of 25 wt% S-GNS leads to a high EMI SE of 21.5 dB at 0.05 mm thickness, which remains unchanged after 1000 times bending. The specific SE/thickness (SSE/t) of the composite is as high as 2663 dB cm(2)/g, outperforming the ever reported materials with similar filler loading (25 wt%). The composite can be used as coating on the surfaces of solids, indicating the great potential for wide application. (C) 2019 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
