| Summary: | Analysis on the dielectric constant and loss tangent at frequency range of 8 - 12
GHz of pure thermoplastic natural rubber (TPNR) and TPNR filled YIG
(Y3Fe5O12) composites microwave absorber was conducted. The TPNR matrix
was prepared from polypropylene (PP) and natural rubber (NR) in the ratio of
70:30. A TPNR-YIG composite with 30 wt % of YIG (Y3FeS012) was prepared via
a Thermo Haake internal mixer using a melt-blending method and the composite
was molded into 6.5cm x 6.5cm dimension and thickness of 5mm using hot press
machine. The measurement systems to analyze the dielectric constant and loss
tangent of the composite consisted of an Agilent 85070 high-temperature
dielectric probe connected via a coaxial cable to a vector network analyzer
(Agilent N5230C PNA-L). The homogeneity of the sample was verified from the
TGA analysis.The total average value of dielectric constant for pure TPNR is
1.250857426 while the average value of dielectric constant for TPNR-YIG
composites is 1.863975494. The total average value of loss tangent for pure
TPNR is -0.012809159 and the total average value of loss tangent for TPNR-YIG
composites are -0.023298762. Research on the magnetic permeability and the
reflection loss properties of the TPNR-YIG composite can be conducted in the
future to investigate their absorption properties as microwave absorber. |
