MECHANICAL AND DIELECTRIC PROPERTIES OF E-GLASS FIBER/MWNTS DISPERSED EPOXY COMPOSITES

摘要

Absorption of electromagnetic pulses from radar has been an essential issue in the stealth technology. Radar stealth technology implies the technology that can make RCS (Radar Cross-Section) smaller by absorbing or scattering electromagnetic wave through radar absorbing materials (RAMs), radar absorbing structures (RAS) or stealth design and shaping. Carbon black, ferrite, and magnetic particles have been investigated for stealth materials. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have the potential for substitution of conventional conducting fillers due to their intrinsic characteristics such as high electric conductivity and low percolation threshold, and dielectric loss peculiarity.
