Development of highly efficient electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials with tunable properties is essential for the modern electronics industry against severe electromagnetic pollution. Herein, a series of novel heterostructured bagasse fiber/polyaniline (BF/PANI) composites are successfully synthesized via a facile in situ polymerization method and both their EMI shielding effectiveness (SE) and mechanisms were analyzed experimentally and theoretically. The results show that the conductivity and EMI shielding properties of BF/PANI composites can be tailored by adjusting the component, microstructure, and electromagnetic parameter, which can be easily tuned by modulating the weight ratio of aniline monomer and BF. More significantly, the BF/PANI heterostructures exhibit remarkable enhanced EMI shielding capabilities compared with the pristine PANI. The BF/PANI heterostructure prepared with an aniline volume of 7 mL shows an electrical conductivity of 6.07 S·cm–1 and the best EMI shielding capabilities of 35.73 dB. The excellent microwave attenuation capacity can be attributed to the cooperation of interface polarization, conductivity, skin depth effect, and the novel heterostructure. Considering their fascinating performance, these BF/PANI composites are proving to be the promising candidates as highly efficient EMI shielding materials.
