An investigation of electromagnetic response of composite polymer materials containing carbon nanostructures within the range of frequencies 10 MHz - 1.1 THz

摘要

Electromagnetic characteristics of composite polymer materials based on multilayer carbon nanotubes (MCNTs) and nano-onion carbon structures in a polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) matrix are investigated. The purpose is to identify a functional relationship between the size, kind, type of processing, concentration of nanotubes and electromagnetic characteristics of composite materials within the frequency range 10 MHz - 1.1 THz. Use is made of the coaxial waveguide, resonator, and quasi-optical methods. The spectra of reflection and transmission coefficients are reported. The composite materials based on carbon nanostructures are shown to actively interact with electromagnetic radiation in a wide range of frequencies.
