Composite foamy structures were prepared through hollow glass microspheres (HGM) assisted bubbling of silicone rubber with ammonium hydrogen carbonate as the blowing agent. The presence of HGM not only favoured the foaming process (acted as nucleating agent for the formation of minute bubbles at the initial stage of the bubbling), but also bring heterogeneous close-cell bubbles with stable inorganic shells into the foamy structure, which played an important part in the improvement of the heat insulation property of the product. Compared to the foamy structures without HGM, The composite foamy structures possessed improved heat insulation and sound absorbing properties. This work provides an additional strategy to fabricate composite foams with tailored cell structure and properties.

Abstract Lightweight microcellular polyurethane (TPU)/carbon nanotubes (CNTs)/ nickel-coated CNTs (Ni@CNTs)/polymerizable ionic liquid copolymer (PIL) composite foams are prepared by non-solvent induced phase separation (NIPS). CNTs and Ni@CNTs modified by PIL provide more heterogeneous nucleation sites and inhibit the aggregation and combination of microcellular structure. Compared with TPU/CNTs, the TPU/CNTs/PIL and TPU/CNTs/Ni@CNTs/PIL composite foams with smaller microcellular structures have a high electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness (EMI SE). The evaporate time regulates the microcellular structure, improves the conductive network of composite foams and reduces the microcellular size, which strengthens the multiple reflections of electromagnetic wave. The TPU/10CNTs/10Ni@CNTs/PIL foam exhibits slightly higher SE values (69.9 dB) compared with TPU/20CNTs/PIL foam (53.3 dB). The highest specific EMI SE of TPU/20CNTs/PIL and TPU/10CNTs/10Ni@CNTs/PIL reaches up to 187.2 and 211.5 dB/(g cm−3), respectively. The polarization losses caused by interfacial polarization between TPU substrates and conductive fillers, conduction loss caused by conductive network of fillers and magnetic loss caused by Ni@CNT synergistically attenuate the microwave energy.
