Study on space absorbing of multilayer MWCNTs/Fe3O4/NBR composites

Abstract

In order to meet the requirements of “wide, thin, strong and light” for military stealth materials, it is of great practical value to study the absorbing characteristics of multi-layer MWCNTs/Fe3O4/NBR absorbing materials in space. First, we use the large-scale software COMSOL Multiphysics to simulate the absorbing characteristics of the composite thin plate in space. Then the four-port network matrix is used to calculate the absorbing characteristics of the composite plate in space. Finally, the Free-Space method is used to measure the reflection attenuation loss, and the results of the three methods are compared and analyzed. The results show that when the frequency is 10 GHz, the reflection loss of multi-layer MWCNTs/Fe3O4/NBR reaches the maximum value of −27.91, −27.01 and −22.56 dB by COMOSL numerical simulation, four-port network the matrix and Free-Space experimental measurement. The results of the three methods show that the reflection loss is less than −10 dB in the frequency band of 6–14 GHz.
