摘      要：Despite tremendous effort,continuous fabrication of high-performance conductive polymer fibers for electromagnetic interference(EMI)shielding applications remains a daunting technical *** the current study,we report an efficient strategy for continuous surface metallization of polyimide fibers used in textile-substrate electromagnetic shielding *** fibers with pendent carboxyl groups(PIC)were first fabricated,and a conductive nickel layer was continuously coated on the PIC surface by electroless metal deposition(ELD).The carboxyl groups introduced onto the fiber surface acted as binding sites for the Ni^(2+)ions,and the complexation reactions greatly increased the Ni^(2+)adsorption capacity and efficiency of the PIC fibers during the ELD process and ensured continuous *** judicious control of the plating time,a series of nickel-layer-coated PIC fibers(Ni-PIC)were constructed with Ni loadings ranging from 20 to 230 wt%.The resultant Ni-PIC fiber containing 65 wt%Ni exhibited conductivity of 223 S cm^(−1),and the corresponding fabric exhibited an EMI shielding effectiveness(EMI SE)of 44 dB in the *** corresponding EMI SE was further improved to 83 dB after the fiber was treated at 300℃ for 1 h because of the crystallization of the Ni *** prepared Ni-PIC fibers and fabrics were also used in pressure sensors and electrothermal conversion,which demonstrated outstanding adaptabilities to various temperatures and mechanical ***,this work provides an efficient route for developing high-performance conductive polyimide fibers for EMI shielding applications,especially for use in military and aerospace equipment and in other harsh environments.
