Large-Scale Synthesis and Microwave Absorption Enhancement of Actinomorphic Tubular ZnO/CoFe₂O₄ Nanocomposites

Abstract

Actinomorphic tubular ZnO/CoFe(2)O(4) nanocomposites were fabricated in large scale via a simple solution method at low temperature. The phase structures, morphologies, particle size, shell thickness, chemical compositions of the composites have been characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The as-synthesized nanocomposites were uniformly dispersed into the phenolic resin then the mixture was pasted on metal plate with the area of 200 mm x 200 mm as the microwave absorption test plate. The test of microwave absorption was carried out by the radar-absorbing materials (RAM) reflectivity far field radar cross-section (RCS) method. The range of microwave absorption is from 2 to 18 Hz and the best microwave absorption reach to 28.2 dB at 8.5 Hz. The results indicate that the composites are of excellence with respect to microwave absorption.

Polyaniline containing W-type hexaferrite composites for microwave absorption in high-frequency applications

“…The dielectric performance (ε′ and ε″) is associated with the polarization occurring in the materials. The ionic polarization, electronic polarization, orientational polarization, and interfacial polarization were the four dominant polarization mechanisms for the dielectric materials [24]. For the first, the protonated polyaniline has abundant of dipoles which contributed to the strong orientational polarization in the PANI/BF composite.…”
