Study on microwave absorption properties of metal-containing foam glass

Materials with the properties of electromagnetic (EM) wave absorption are attractive topics. In this work, we report that EM wave absorption composites, consisting of foam glass, zinc and zinc oxide, were prepared by sintering mixture of foam glass raw material and zinc powder. Microwave reflection loss of composite was calculated based on the permittivity in the range of 8.2-12.4 GHz. The results show that zinc-containing foam glass absorbs efficiently microwaves. The sample with zinc filler to foam glass mass ratio of 3/18 had a reflection loss below −10 dB in the range of 11.3-12.4 GHz, and the minimum reflectivity was −15.6 dB at both 12.0 and 12.4 GHz. Microwave absorption performances of specimens can be controlled by changing the ratio between zinc powder and foam glass mass. The detailed mechanism of the control was investigated through X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis and scanning electrical microscopy (SEM) observations.     

Preparation, characterization and microwave absorption properties of polyaniline/Co0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4 nanocomposite

The polyaniline (PAni)/Co_0.5Zn_0.5Fe₂O₄ nanocomposite was prepared by an in situ polymerization in an aqueous solution. The products were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectrometer, ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectrometer, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscope (TEM). The average particle size of the PAni/Co_0.5Zn_0.5Fe₂O₄ was estimated to be about 70 nm by TEM. The reflection loss (dB) of the nanocomposite was measured at different microwave frequencies in X-band (8.2-12.4 GHz), U-band (12.4-18 GHz) and K-band (18-26.5 GHz) by radar cross-section (RCS) method according to the national standard GJB-2038-94. The results showed the reflection loss of the PAni/Co_0.5Zn_0.5Fe₂O₄ nanocomposite was higher than that of the PAni. The maximum reflection loss of the PAni/Co_0.5Zn_0.5Fe₂O₄ nanocomposite was about −39.9 dB at 22.4 GHz with a bandwidth of 5 GHz (full frequency width at about a half of the peak response). In conclusion, this sample is a good microwave shielding and absorbing materials at higher frequency.     

Complex Permittivity and Microwave Absorbing Property of Si3N4-SiC Composite Ceramic

Si3N4-SiC composite ceramics were fabricated by chemical vapor infiltration using porous Si3N4 ceramic as preform. The average grain size of SiC was 30 nm. Relationship between SiC content and relative complex permittivity of Si3N4-SiC within the frequency range of 8.2-12.4 GHz (X-band) was investigated. The average real part of relative complex permittivity ε of Si3N4-SiC increased from 3.7 to 14.9 and the relative imaginary part ε increased from 0.017 to 13.4 when the content of SiC increased from 0 to 10 vol.%. The Si3N4-SiC ceramic with 3 vol.% SiC achieved a reflection loss below 10 dB (90% absorption) at 8.6-11.4 GHz, and the minimum value was 27.1 dB at 9.8 GHz when the sample thickness was 2.5 mm. The excellent microwave absorbing abilities of Si3N4-SiC ceramic were attributed to the interfacial polarization at interface between Si3N4 and SiC and at grain boundary between SiC nanocrystals.     

Combustion synthesis and microwave absorption property of SiC(Fe) solid solution powder under different reaction time

SiC(Fe) solid solution powders were synthesized via combustion reaction of the Si and C system in a 0.1 MPa nitrogen atmosphere using iron as the dopant and PTFE as the chemical activator, under different reaction time. The microstructures of prepared powders have been characterized by the SEM, EDS, XRD and Raman spectra, respectively. Results indicate that the prepared powders have fine spherical particles and narrow particle size distribution. The electric permittivities of SiC samples were determined in the frequency range of 8.2–12.4 GHz. Results show that the permittivity of SiC decreases with the increasing reaction time. The Fe doped SiC powder with reaction time of 45 min with 2 mm or 2.5 mm thickness exhibit the best microwave absorption properties in the X-band range(8.2–12.4 GHz). A method to predict absorbing property in the other frequency range has been presented.

Nanocrystalline nickel zinc ferrite powders （Ni=Zn1-xFe2O4, A for x=0, B for x=0.2, C for x=0.5, D for x= 0.8 and E for x= 1） were synthesized by polyacrylamide gel method.

Fabrication and electromagnetic characteristics of electromagnetic wave absorbing sandwich structures

The radar absorbing structures (RAS) having sandwich structures in the X-band (8.2–12.4 GHz) frequencies were designed and fabricated. We added conductive fillers such as carbon black and multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWNT) to composite prepregs and polyurethane foams so as to efficiently increase the absorbing capacity of RAS. In order to improve the mechanical stiffness of RAS, we adopted the sandwich structures made of composite face sheets and foam cores. Glass fabric/epoxy composites containing conductive carbon black and carbon fabric/epoxy composites were used for the face sheets. Polyurethane foams containing MWNT were used as the core material. Their permittivity in the X-band was measured using the transmission line technique. The reflection loss characteristics for multi-layered sandwich structures were calculated using the theory of transmission and reflection in a multi-layered medium. Three kinds of specimens were fabricated and their reflection losses in the X-band were measured using the free space technique. Experimental results were in good agreement with simulated ones in 10-dB absorbing bandwidth.

Double layer microwave absorber based on Cu dispersed SiC composites

The present work has been focused on designing an efficient and cost-effective double layer microwave absorber in 8.2–12.4?GHz frequency range. For the same, Cu particles were dispersed in SiC to achieve enhanced microwave absorption by combining the excellent dielectric characteristics of SiC with highly conductive Cu. Cu dispersed SiC composites were prepared by dispersing various weight fractions of Cu particles in the SiC matrix using planetary ball mill. The Cu dispersion in SiC yielded excellent relative complex permittivity values translating into a decrease in the reflection loss (RL) values of dispersed composites as compared to the pristine counterpart. The minimum RL of ?17.18?dB has been observed for 2?wt% Cu dispersed SiC composite at 11.81?GHz with a thickness of 1.3?mm and bandwidth corresponding to ?10?dB is 1.77?GHz. Genetic algorithm approach has been implemented to design double layer microwave absorber to further enhance the microwave absorption of the prepared composites for realizing a cost-effective solution. The optimum double layer results show the RL of ?32.16?dB at 11.05?GHz with 1.67?mm total thickness and bandwidth corresponding to ?10?dB is 2.35?GHz.

Electrical conductivity and shielding effectiveness of poly(trimethylene terephthalate)/multiwalled carbon nanotube composites

Poly(trimethylene terephthalate) (PTT)/multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) composites have been fabricated to evaluate the potential of PTT composites as electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding material. The room temperature electrical conductivity, complex permittivity, and shielding effectiveness (SE) of PTT/MWCNT composites were studied in the frequency range of 8.2–12.4 GHz (X-band). The dc conductivity (σ) of composites increased with increasing MWCNT loading and a typical percolation behavior was observed at 0.48 vol% MWCNT loading. The highest EMI SE of PTT/MWCNT composites was ~23 decibel (dB) at 4.76 vol% MWCNT loading which suggest that these composites can be used as light weight EMI shielding materials. The correlation among the SE, complex permittivity, and electrical conductivity was also studied. The EMI shielding mechanism of PTT/MWCNT composites was studied by resolving the total EMI SE into absorption and reflection loss.
