Effect of ultrasonic treatment on the X-band microwave absorption of multiwalled carbon nanocomposite

This paper presents results of calculation reflection coefficients multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs)-laquer composites at microwave frequencies. Two groups of composite samples with 1.0% weight percentages of MWCNTs were fabricated and tested. The multiwall carbon nanotubes used in the composite were about 18.6 nm and 9.4 nm in diameter. As a result, it is shown that the use different morphology MWCNTs entered in the making of composite material and various ultrasonic treatment times provide the change both absorption region width and absorption peak depth.
