Iron oxide/titania composites were synthesized by precipitation method. Amount of iron oxide was varied in the composites. The single phase (anatase) was obtained for the weight ratio of 0-20% and three phases (anatase, magnetite and hematite) were found for the weight ratio of 30% and 40% of iron oxide. The crystallite size of titania decreased with increasing of iron oxide content. The specific surface area, total pore volume and BJH pore volume of the sample increased with increasing iron oxide content in the composite. The composites possessed mesoporous characteristic (6.5-9.6 nm in pore diameter) and exhibited ferromagnetic properties. The measurement of the microwave absorption showed that the 40Fe/Ti composite had the best reflection loss of -14 dB at a frequency of 10.9 GHz. This meant that the electromagnetic wave was absorbed 80% in that frequency. Thus, the developed material can be a promising microwave absorbing agent in radar signature reduction.
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.
