Abstract
Developments in electronic industries for telecommunications and demands for decreasing electromagnetic radiation pollution result in developing researches on microwave absorption materials. The target of the present study is to design materials with high absorption properties for electromagnetic waves in the 12–18GHz range. Thus, Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles were syntheses through chemical co-precipitation reinforced by ultrasonic. Then, BaTiO3 nanocrystalline powder was synthesized by the hydrothermal sol-gel method under atmospheric oxygen. Next, nano-particles of barium titanate were deposited on the multi-walled carbon nanotubes (BaTiO3@CNT). It was concluded that a magnetic-dielectric nanocomposite has superior microwave absorption properties in comparison to individual magnetic or dielectric absorbers. Also, in order to obtain an optimum absorption in a wide frequency band, dielectric-CNT nanocomposites represents higher properties than magnetic-CNT composites. It is concluded that composites with more magnetic percentage showed better absorption in low frequency band (12GHz), whereas composites with more dielectric percentage exhibited superior absorption for high frequency band (18GHz). 80–93% absorption was obtained in the frequency range of 16.7–18GHz by composite 40M.20F.40C (40% paraffin, 20% magnetite, 40% multi-walled carbon nanotubes). Also, composite 40M.20B.40B@C (40% paraffin, 20% barium titanate, 40% barium titanate deposited on multi-walled carbon nanotubes) showed the absorption of 80–90%.
