Study on Dielectric and Magnetic Properties of MWCNTs/Polyester Composites

摘要

This paper is to study the dielectric properties, magnetic properties, and dielectric conductivity of Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and polyester (PE) composites. The composites with different amount of MWCNTs (5-15%) have been studied in the Ku-Band range (12.4-18 GHz). The rectangular waveguide (WR-62) was used to measure the dielectric properties and magnetic properties of the samples. The results show the dielectric properties and conductivity of MWCNTs/PE composites is increasing with the MWCNTs filler increases. The real part of dielectric properties values increase from 5.5 to 26.6 with increasing the MWCNTs loading from 5% to 15%. The increasing of MWCNTs filler in the MWCNTs/PE composites does not effects on magnetic properties, the real part and imaginary part of magnetic properties are approximate to 1 and 0. The highest conductivity of 15% MWCNTs loading is reach to 11.02 (S/m) at 18 GHz.
