[0001] This invention relates to the field of electromagnetic shielding technology, and in particular to a chiral electromagnetic shielding fabric and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of modern technology, various electromagnetic environments have become more complex. Electromagnetic interference (EMI) not only seriously threatens the stable operation of precision electronic equipment, but may also pose potential risks to information security and human health. Therefore, fabrics that can achieve electromagnetic shielding have also attracted people's attention.
[0003] In existing technologies, fabrics with electromagnetic shielding effects are often produced by weaving conductive fibers into the fabric or by depositing conductive particles on the surface of the fibers to improve the conductivity of the fabric, thereby achieving electromagnetic shielding. However, the preparation process of existing technologies is complex, the shielding effect is generally poor, and the fabric is difficult to meet processing requirements after treatment. In summary, existing technologies are not suitable for producing electromagnetic shielding fabrics. Summary of the Invention

[0021] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0024] The present invention provides a chiral electromagnetic shielding fabric, comprising a fiber substrate and a shielding film layer; the shielding film layer is loaded on the fiber substrate, and the material of the shielding film layer is a polymer film with a helical structure on its surface.
[0025] This invention provides a chiral electromagnetic shielding fabric with a shielding film layer disposed on a fiber substrate. The shielding film layer is grown on the fiber surface by an in-situ growth method. The precursor is homopolymerized or copolymerized and adsorbed onto the surface of a chiral template to prepare a polymer film with a helical structure on the surface, resulting in a fabric with a chiral structure on the surface. When electrons pass through the chiral nanostructure, i.e., the helical molecules, the spin-orbit coupling and the chiral breaking of the structure work synergistically, leading to an asymmetric electron transport probability for different spin directions, achieving spin polarization. This film has a high electromagnetic shielding effect across the entire electromagnetic shielding band. The film with a single-handed helical nanostructure on the surface is obtained directly on the fiber surface by an in-situ growth method. The structure is simple, the fiber processing is simple, it is easy to prepare, and the electromagnetic shielding effect is good.
[0026] Please see Figure 1 The chiral structure forms a three-dimensional conductive network, offering higher shielding effectiveness and a wider frequency band. Its strong flexibility and adaptability to deformation make it suitable for complex applications. The helical structure itself possesses natural elasticity and stretchability. When the fabric is subjected to stretching, bending, or torsion, the helical fibers can buffer stress through their own tightening / loosening, preventing the conductive layer from breaking or detaching. The helical fiber arrangement contains numerous micropores and gaps, resulting in lower fabric areal density and better breathability while maintaining the continuity of the conductive network. When the fabric is subjected to friction or repeated bending, the external force is dispersed across multiple helical fibers rather than concentrated in one area, reducing wear and detachment of the conductive layer.
[0027] Specifically, in this embodiment, the material of the fiber substrate includes one or more of cellulose fiber, protein fiber, polyester fiber, polyamide fiber, carbon cloth, and basalt.
[0028] On the other hand, in this embodiment, the thickness of the shielding film layer is 0.0001-5mm.

Add a polymer precursor to the transparent solution impregnated with the fiber substrate, so that the precursor is adsorbed on the surface of the chiral molecules to prepare a polymer film with a helical structure on the surface.
[0031] This invention provides a method for preparing chiral electromagnetic shielding fabric. Using chiral molecules as templates, a polymer precursor is added to copolymerize on the fabric surface. The fabric is then adsorbed onto the fiber surface and grown in situ to prepare a thin film with a single-handed helical nanostructure on the surface. The preparation steps are simple and the application range is wide.
[0032] The electromagnetic shielding frequency range of this thin film is 100MHz-40GHz.

Immerse the fibers in a dilute aqueous solution of sodium bicarbonate or sodium hydroxide for a short time to neutralize the acid adsorbed in the fiber micropores. Thoroughly clean: Rinse and soak the fibers repeatedly with plenty of deionized water until the pH of the outflowing water is neutral.
[0039] It should be noted that the acid solution is any one of concentrated HNO3, H2SO4, or H2SO4 / K2Cr2O7 (chromic acid).
[0040] The present invention provides the following specific embodiments in which the initial fibers are immersed in an alkaline solution: The fibers are immersed in an alkaline solution. This is typically done in a water bath at a specific temperature (room temperature to boiling point, such as 60°C or 80°C) for a certain time (1 second to 72 hours). Then, they are neutralized by immersion in a dilute acetic acid or hydrochloric acid solution. Finally, they are rinsed thoroughly with plenty of deionized water until neutral (pH=7).
[0041] It should be noted that the alkaline solution is either NaOH or KOH solution.

[0045] The chiral polymers include chiral polypyrrole, chiral polyaniline, chiral polym-phenylenediamine, chiral polyo-phenylenediamine, chiral polyo-phenylenediamine, chiral aminophenol, chiral carbon materials, and chiral B compounds; amino or amine-containing monomers such as pyrrole, aniline, and m-phenylenediamine, compounds containing amine or amino groups, and various amine or amino compounds containing element B.

[0047] There are various implementations of chiral MOF structures. Among them, the chiral ligand-constructed type uses chiral amino acids, bipyridines, Schiff bases, etc., to coordinate with metals, resulting in controllable chirality and structural stability; examples include MOF-520 and Zn-amino acid MOFs. The chiral template-induced type uses achiral ligands and metals, with chiral channels formed by a chiral template agent (such as L-tartaric acid). Chirality is retained after template removal; examples include chiral MIL-53 and chiral ZIF-8. The spontaneous resolution type lacks a chiral source; chirality is spontaneously formed during the self-assembly of achiral ligands and metals, requiring resolution to obtain a single configuration; an example is [Co(4,4'-bipy)2(H2O)2]・(NO3)2. The post-modified type grafts chiral groups (such as L-proline) into the channels of achiral MOFs, retaining the original porosity; examples include chiral UiO-66 and chiral MIL-101.
