Microwave absorption properties of graphene composite with magnetite multi-granular nanoclusters in X-band

POSTER

Abstract

Ferrite materials are generally used for microwave absorbing materials due to their permeability and dielectric property. Carbon-based materials, e.g., single or multiwall carbon nanotubes, graphene, carbon fiber, and carbon black can also be used as alternative conducting materials for the EMI shielding applications.
We prepared nanocomposites composed of magnetite multi-granular nanocluster (MGNC), conductive graphene sheet and carbon nanotube sheet. The graphene sheets were efficiently decorated with MGNCs by spray coating to prepare novel nanocomposites which can exhibit the microwave-absorbing performance. Effects of the various size and volume percentages of MGNC in the nanocomposites with two different matrix materials such as graphene sheet and carbon nanotube sheet on the radar absorbing performance were studied. The structural properties of the composites with varied granule size and cluster size were characterized. The behavior of microwave absorption of the composites was investigated by free space measurements in the range of 8.2 GHz — 12.4 GHz. Materials characterization was conducted by TEM, SEM and Raman spectroscopy.
