Abstract
A low-cost composite electromagnetic wave absorber made of sendust dispersed in resin was developed that does not contain any rare metals. In this study, spherical sendust particles with average particle sizes of approximately 5 and 20 μm were dispersed in polystyrene resin at volume ratios in the range 2040 vol% to broaden the absorption frequency bandwidth at frequencies above 10 GHz. The optimal volume ratios of sendust with average particle sizes of approximately 5 and 20 μm were found to be approximately 30 and 35 vol%, respectively. Electromagnetic wave absorbers can be flexibly designed by controlling the volume ratio of spherical sendust particles in resin.
