Abstract: Constructing segregated structure in polypropylene (PP)/carbon nanotubes (CNTs) composites via co-extrusion coating-compression molding technique is an effective way to achieve high electromagnetic interference shielding with low percolation threshold. Among them, CNTs are randomly distributed inside PP matrix to form conductive composites, which is coated on the outer surface of pure PP to form a segregated structure. The results show that the PP/CNTs composites exhibit an excellent electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness (EMI SE) of 25.6 dB at 5.6% (mass fraction) of CNTs, and high-performance electrical conductivity with a low percolation threshold of 0.28% (volume fraction) CNTs. Furthermore the PP/CNTs composites have excellent mechanical properties. In a word, the co-extrusion coating-compression molding technique is a facile and green method, which plays a role in developing high-performance electromagnetic shielding composites.
