Abstract

Abstract Nickel nanoparticle–decorated reduced graphene oxide nanocomposites (NiG) were prepared by a one-step microwave-assisted solvothermal method. The as-prepared NiG nanocomposite systems were further heated up to 800 °C under an inert atmosphere (named NiG-800) to modify their structural and electromagnetic properties. Thereafter, these developed NiG-800 nanocomposite systems of rGO and nickel nanoparticles (25 wt.%) were applied as nanofillers (50 wt.% and 70 wt.%) in a SEBS (Polystyrene-block-poly(ethylene-ran-butylene)-block-polystyrene) polymer matrix to create NiG-800(50)-SEBS and NiG-800(70)-SEBS nanocomposites. The addition of NiG-800 to SEBS led to an increase of Young’s modulus from 16 (SEBS) to 35 MPa (NiG-800(70)-SEBS) while the maximum elongation is still around 300%. The developed NiG-800(70)-SEBS nanocomposite exhibited high-performance electromagnetic wave absorption (minimum reflection loss RLmin ≈ –48.2 dB at 9.29 GHz) at a low thickness of 2.3 mm in the frequency range of 8.2−12.4 GHz. The prepared NiG-800(70)-SEBS nanocomposite has the potential of an electromagnetic wave absorber. The NiG-800(70)-SEBS nanocomposite reported here has total shielding efficiency > 10 dB at a thickness of 1 mm in the whole frequency range (X-band) with reflection ≈ 50% and absorption ≈ 40% which has the potential for electromagnetic wave absorber applications.
