The electromagnetic absorbing behaviors of ferrite/polymer coatings fabricated by dispersing Mn–Zn ferrite into epoxy resin (EP) are studied. The microstructure and morphology are characterized by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope. Complex permittivity, complex permeability, and reflection loss of ferrite/EP composite coating are investigated in a low frequency range. It is found that the prepared ferrite particles are traditional cubic spinel ferrite particles with an average size of 200 nm. The results reveal that the electromagnetic microwave absorbing properties are significantly influenced by the weight ratio of ferrite to polymer. The composites with a weight ratio of ferrite/polymer being 3:20 have a maximum reflection loss of –16 dB and wide absorbing band. Thus, the Mn–Zn ferrite is the potential candidate in electromagnetic absorbing application in the low frequency range (10 MHz–1 GHz).展开更多

The monosaccharide fructose aqueous solution was adopted as the starting material, and the p H of the solution was adjusted to be in acidic(pH 4), neutral(pH 7) and basic(pH 10.5) conditions. The p H buffered fructose solutions were treated at different temperatures by a microwave-assisted hydrothermal technique. As-prepared carbon materials displayed p H and temperature dependent multi-morphologies(porous, spherical or core-shell), which were determined by transmission and scanning electron microscopic analyses(TEM and SEM). And the hypothesis of dehydration mechanism of hydrothermal synthesis was analyzed by ultraviolet extinction and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. It was found that as compared with normal hydrothermal synthesis, microwave assistance could efficiently increase the production yield and improve the spherical geometry of the carbon particles in neutral condition. By changing the p H of the system, acidic p H induces aggregation of the spheres, while basic p H produces more trends toward core-shell or sponge-like porous structure. The study opens a novel route to the production of polytropic carbon materials and suggests a potential niche market established from the green synthesis.展开更多

Its high absorbance and wide absorption band result from ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) that is self-biased by strong shape and mag- netocrystaUine anisotropy fields. Around the FMR frequency the specimen of the ferrite rods exhibits very high absorbance and the FMR frequency can be tuned by the rod dimension. In addition to the high absorbance and the wide tunable absorption band, the microwave ab- sorber has another advantage of light weight due to the use of the ferrite rods instead of ferrite slabs.展开更多

It is found that changing the content of Sr or Fe would effect the microwave absorbing. When the thickness of La1-x SrxMn1-y FeyO3 is 2 mm and x =0.20, y = 0.14, the capability of microwave absorbing is the best one. There are two absorption peaks; the maximum is 34 dB and effective band width with 10 dB and more reaches 6.2 GHz.展开更多

The effect of CaF2 addition on the structure and dielectric properties of Ag(Nb0.8Ta0.2)O3 ceramics was investigated. The addition of CaF2 led the ceramics to a larger grain size and distortion of lattice. With the addition of 4.5 wt.% CaF2, the permittivity of the ceramics increased from 442 to 1028, the dielectric loss decreased sharply from 6.12 × 10^-3 to 8.6 × 10^-4, and the temperature coefficient of capacitance decreased from 1834 ppm/℃ to -50 ppm/℃ (at 1 MHz). These results indicated that the high permittivity was related with a large grain size, a low grain boundary density, and the weak Ta-O or Nb-O bond strength caused by the addition of CaF2.展开更多

文摘A facile microwave-assisted hydrothermal route has been developed for a synthesis of versatile carbon materials. The monosaccharide fructose aqueous solution was adopted as the starting material, and the p H of the solution was adjusted to be in acidic(pH 4), neutral(pH 7) and basic(pH 10.5) conditions. The p H buffered fructose solutions were treated at different temperatures by a microwave-assisted hydrothermal technique. As-prepared carbon materials displayed p H and temperature dependent multi-morphologies(porous, spherical or core-shell), which were determined by transmission and scanning electron microscopic analyses(TEM and SEM). And the hypothesis of dehydration mechanism of hydrothermal synthesis was analyzed by ultraviolet extinction and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. It was found that as compared with normal hydrothermal synthesis, microwave assistance could efficiently increase the production yield and improve the spherical geometry of the carbon particles in neutral condition. By changing the p H of the system, acidic p H induces aggregation of the spheres, while basic p H produces more trends toward core-shell or sponge-like porous structure. The study opens a novel route to the production of polytropic carbon materials and suggests a potential niche market established from the green synthesis.

文摘Carbon-based foams with a three-dimensional structure can serve as a lightweight template for the rational design and control-lable preparation of metal oxide/carbon-based composite microwave absorption materials.In this study,a flake-like nickel cobaltate/re-duced graphene oxide/melamine-derived carbon foam(FNC/RGO/MDCF)was successfully fabricated through a combination of solvo-thermal treatment and high-temperature pyrolysis.Results indicated that RGO was evenly distributed in the MDCF skeleton,providing ef-fective support for the load growth of FNC on its surface.Sample S3,the FNC/RGO/MDCF composite prepared by solvothermal method for 16 h,exhibited a minimum reflection loss(RL_(min))of-66.44 dB at a thickness of 2.29 mm.When the thickness was reduced to 1.50 mm,the optimal effective absorption bandwidth was 3.84 GHz.Analysis of the absorption mechanism of FNC/RGO/MDCF revealed that its excellent absorption performance was primarily attributed to the combined effects of conduction loss,multiple reflection,scattering,in-terface polarization,and dipole polarization.

文摘A Y-type hexaferrite rod with the composition of Ba2COl.8Cuo.2Fe12022 was presented as an absorbing material with high absorb- anee. Its high absorbance and wide absorption band result from ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) that is self-biased by strong shape and mag- netocrystaUine anisotropy fields. Around the FMR frequency the specimen of the ferrite rods exhibits very high absorbance and the FMR frequency can be tuned by the rod dimension. In addition to the high absorbance and the wide tunable absorption band, the microwave ab- sorber has another advantage of light weight due to the use of the ferrite rods instead of ferrite slabs.
文摘Radar Absorbing Materials(RAM)are a class of composites that can attenuate incident electromagnetic waves to avoid radar detection.Most carbon allotropes that have the potential to be used as RAM are either carbon nano-tubes(CNTs),graphene,carbon black(CB)and ultimately,sustainable porous carbon(SPC).Here,black wattle bark waste(following tannin extraction)was used as a sustainable source to produce SPC made from biomass waste.It was characterized and used as afiller for a silicone rubber matrix to produce aflexible RAM.The elec-tromagnetic performance of this composite was compared with composites made with commercial CB and CNT through reflection loss(RL),where-10 dB is equivalent to 90%of attenuation.These composites were evaluated in single-layer,double-layer,and as radar absorbing structures(RAS)with the aim of improving their effective absorption bandwidth(EAB)performances and a reduction in costs.The CNT composite presented a RL of-26.85 dB at 10.89 GHz and an EAB of 2.6 GHz with a 1.9 mm thickness,while the double-layer structures using CNT and SPC provided a RL of-19.74 dB at 10.75 GHz and an EAB of 2.51 GHz.Furthermore,the double-layer structures are~42%cheaper than the composite using only CNT since less material is used.Finally,the largest EAB was achieved with a RAS using SPC,reaching~2.8 GHz and a RL of-49.09 dB at 10.4 GHz.Summarizing,SPC made of black wattle bark waste can be a competitive,alternative material for use as RAM and RAS since it is cheaper,sustainable,and suitable for daily life uses such as absorbers for anechoic chambers,sensors,and elec-tromagnetic interference shields for electronics,wallets,vehicles,and others.
文摘The experiment samples of La1-xSrxMn1-y FeyO3(x = 0. 15, 0.20, 0.23; y = 0. 10, 0. 12, 0.14, 0.16) were prepared by sol-gel process, and the loss tangent and absorption coefficient in the range of 2 - 18 GHz were measured by HP8722 net analyzing apparatus. It is found that changing the content of Sr or Fe would effect the microwave absorbing. When the thickness of La1-x SrxMn1-y FeyO3 is 2 mm and x =0.20, y = 0.14, the capability of microwave absorbing is the best one. There are two absorption peaks; the maximum is 34 dB and effective band width with 10 dB and more reaches 6.2 GHz.
文摘The film and the material have been confused in current microwave absorption theory.This confusion has led to the establishment of the wrong theory of impedance matching and the wrong absorption mechanism.Progress on this subject has been reviewed in this work,and it shows that the wave mechanics theory which was proposed recently in the field of microwave absorption can be used to explain all aspects of the behavior of microwave absorption in film.Important aspects of the theory have been reviewed in detail involving the different absorption properties between film and material,the inverse relationship between frequency and film thickness that is related to the quarter-wavelength theory.
文摘With the rapid advancement of information technology,electromagnetic radiation has become deeply integrated into nearly every aspect of modern life,from personal communication and industrial manufacturing to aerospace and national defense infrastructures.As the electromagnetic environment has become increasingly complex and congested,electromagnetic waves have not only brought unprecedented convenience but also introduced serious challenges,including electromagnetic interference,radiation pollution,and information insecurity.Consequently,the rational design and development of microwave absorption materials(MAMs)are critically important for protecting human health,mitigating electromagnetic pollution,and strengthening information security in the information age.
文摘Dielectric loss microwave absorbing materials have been widely used to mitigate electromagnetic interference and achieve radar stealth.Their design and optimization involve multiple electromagnetic parameters,such as dielectric constant,magnetic permeability,and loss factors.Traditional optimization methods typically require extensive computation and experimentation,making them inefficient and prone to local optima.In recent years,neural network algorithms,as effective nonlinear modeling and optimization tools,have found growing applications in optimizing the performance of absorbing materials.This paper explores the application of neural networks in optimizing electromagnetic parameters of dielectric loss microwave absorbing materials.Using neural networks,we predict the reflectivity values under different electromagnetic parameters and examine the patterns of variation with frequency and thickness.The results show that optimal reflectivity for various frequencies corresponds to different sets of electromagnetic parameters and matching thicknesses.As the frequency increases,the optimal dielectric constant values(both real and imaginary parts)concentrate in a lower range,especially when the material thickness is small.Finally,the consistency between predicted and experimentally measured reflectivity values confirms the reliability of the neural network-based predictions.

文摘High-entropy alloys(HEAs)show excellent prospects in microwave absorbing materials due to their designable composition and variable electromagnetic properties.In this work,FeCoCrAl_(0.4)V_(x)HEAs with body-centered cubic(BCC)single-phase solid solution structure were prepared by mechanical alloying and heat treatment.By varying the content of vanadium(V),the grain size,lattice constant,crystallinity,particle size,and microscopic morphology can be effectively adjusted,thereby enabling the optimization of their electromagnetic properties and microwave absorption performance.Doping a small amount of V element can refine the BCC grains,regulate the particle size,and enhance the electrical conductivity,which significantly improves the polarization relaxation,conduction loss,and eddy current loss of HEAs.In addition,the increased crystallinity and reduced lattice defects can enhance natural resonance loss at a high frequency(GHz),which will contribute to the improvement of impedance matching and electromagnetic attenuation.The annealed FeCoCrAl_(0.4)V_(0.2)HEAs exhibit excellent wave absorption properties,achieving a maximum reflection loss of-44.3 dB at 1.8 mm thickness and an effective absorption bandwidth of 4.0 GHz at 1.2 mm,respectively.This study provides a new strategy for developing lightweight and high-performance high-entropy alloys microwave absorbing materials.

文摘Ag(Nb0.8Ta0.2)O3 ceramics were prepared by the traditional solid-state reaction method. The effect of CaF2 addition on the structure and dielectric properties of Ag(Nb0.8Ta0.2)O3 ceramics was investigated. The addition of CaF2 led the ceramics to a larger grain size and distortion of lattice. With the addition of 4.5 wt.% CaF2, the permittivity of the ceramics increased from 442 to 1028, the dielectric loss decreased sharply from 6.12 × 10^-3 to 8.6 × 10^-4, and the temperature coefficient of capacitance decreased from 1834 ppm/℃ to -50 ppm/℃ (at 1 MHz). These results indicated that the high permittivity was related with a large grain size, a low grain boundary density, and the weak Ta-O or Nb-O bond strength caused by the addition of CaF2.

文摘The rise in electromagnetic pollution is a pressing issue,and the need for high-efficiency microwaveabsorbing materials(MAMs) is critical in safeguarding against this growing menace.This study employs a threestep synthesis strategy:(ⅰ) using in situ synthesis technology to grow ZIF-67 on multi-walled carbon nanotubes to enhance the material's dielectric loss effect to improve microwave absorption(MA) properties.(ⅱ) High-temperature carbonization of ZIF-67 in a tube furnace yields MWCNTs@Co/C magnetic composites,where graphitic carbon and Co particles synergistic ally optimize dielectricmagnetic coupling.(ⅲ) The MWCNTs@Co/C@PANI ternary core-shell structure composites were coated with a poly aniline wrapping layer with moderate thickness using a common polymerization reaction,resulting in MWCNTs@Co/C@PANI ternary core-shell structural composites.The thickness of the polyaniline(PANI)coating on the surface of MWCNTs@Co/C can be modulated by changing the aniline concentration in the polymerization reaction.We systematically investigated the effects of different thickness layers of poly aniline on the MA properties of MWCNTs@Co/C and analyzed the reasons for their effects.The introduction of PANI increases heterointerfaces,enhancing interfacial polarization and optimizing impedance matching.With an optimal PANI coating thickness,the composite achieves ultra-wide absorption bandwidth and efficient microwave absorption.The results show that when the thickness of the coaxial annular absorber made of 20 wt% MWCNTs@Co/C@PANI is just 2.5 mm,the minimum reflection loss(RLmin) is-50.6 dB,and an extremely wide effective absorption bandwidth(EAB) of 7.09 GHz can be achieved when the thickness is just 2.4 mm.In this study,conductive polymers were compounded on the surfaces of carbon materials and magnetic nanomaterials derived from MOFs to form a ternary core-shell structure,providing a novel tunable approach for the research and development of MAMs.
文摘A plasma-microwave absorptive material(MAM)-plasma sandwich structure is presented to protect the electronic device against high power electromagnetic pulse.The model of electromagnetic wave reflected by and transmitting through the structure is established.Based on the characteristic parameters of plasma generated by discharge and usual MAM,the electromagnetic transmissive properties of the sandwich structure are investigated by the method of finite difference in time domain.The results indicate that in a rather broad frequency range,the electromagnetic attenuations by the structure are obviously better than the sum of attenuations resulted from plasma and MAM respectively.The models and results presented are instructive for electromagnetic pulse protection.
