A multi-composite electrochemical cell substantially consists of a thin polymer membrane including three different adjacent sectors, which are made of the same appropriately seamlessly modified polymer, incorporating in the polymer one or more conductive phases, or conductive fillers, such as graphene, metal, or a combination thereof. In the first sector the polymer material incorporates graphene nanoplatelets and acts as a cathode; in the second sector, interposed between the other two, the polymer material acts as an insulating spacer; in the third sector the polymer material incorporates graphene nanoplatelets and a metal filler or immersed metal contact rheophore, with negative standard reduction potential, and acts as an anode; wherein the metal filler is in the form of dispersed powder or dispersed flakes, or of a thin sheet incorporated in the polymer.

A multilayer radar-absorbing laminate includes three juxtaposed blocks. A first electrically conductive block is arranged toward the inside of the aircraft in use. A second electromagnetic intermediate absorber block has a layer of electrically non-conductive fiber sheets is permeated by graphene-based nanoplatelets to achieve a periodic and electromagnetically subresonant layer, the conductive layers containing graphene nanoplatelets alternating with non-conductive layers. A third block of electrically non-conductive material is arranged towards the outside and forms part of the outer surface of the aircraft. The second block is produced by depositing on the fiber sheets a suspension of graphene nanoplatelets in a polymeric mixture, with controlled penetration of the graphene nanoplatelets into the fiber sheets. A plurality of dry fiber sheets sprayed with the suspension of graphene nanoplatelets is superimposed. An unpolymerized thermosetting synthetic resin is infused into a lay-up made of the first, second and third blocks. Afterwards, the thermosetting resin is polymerized.

A process for producing GNP-based polymeric nanocomposites for electromagnetic applications such as shielding and/or absorption of the energy associated to electromagnetic fields envisages a plurality of steps that include: controlled synthesis, for optimizing the morphological and electrical properties thereof, of graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) to be used as nanofillers in a polymeric matrix; selection of the polymeric matrix so as to optimize its chemical compatibility with the type of GNPs thus obtained; production via the solution-processing technique of GNP-based polymeric nanocomposites with dielectric permittivity and electric conductivity controlled and predictable via the equivalent-effective-medium model by calibrating the parameters of the model for the specific type of polymeric matrix and GNPs used.
