Low density composite powders of hollow microsphere/titania/M-type Ba ferrite were prepared using a two-step sol-gel technique. Their electromagnetic wave absorption properties were investigated in the 2–18GHz frequency range. Reflection loss less than −20dB was obtained between 7.5–9.4GHz for paraffin composites containing 25wt% titania over an absorber thickness of 2.0–3.0mm. A minimum reflection loss of −30.1dB was observed at 8.5GHz with a thickness of 2.4mm. The strong electromagnetic absorption properties are due to the introduction of a titania intermediate layer.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
