Controlled microwave absorption through aligned carbon nanotubes-composites samples

Dielectric behavior of self organized and highly structured Single Wall Carbon Nanotubes (SWCNTs) polymer composites is tested at microwave frequencies. Tests are performed using cavity perturbation technique. Magnitude of microwave absorption and its dependence on degree of stretch is evaluated. Results confirmed the linear relationship of absorption to that of stretch in SWCNTs polymer composites.
