Preparation and Investigation of Co-Dispersed MWCNT Buckypaper for the Microwave Absorption

Article Preview

Abstract:

The paper deals with the preparation of cobalt nanoparticles dispersed multi walled carbon nanotube buckypaper by the dispersion and filtration method to study the electromagnetic (microwave) absorption properties. From the X-ray diffraction the crystallite size of the cobalt nanoparticles of 33.04 nm was calculated. FESEM image clearly indicates the presence of cobalt nanoparticles in the buckypaper. Microwave-absorbing properties were investigated in terms of measuring the transmission coefficient (S21) with MWCNT-buckypaper as the absorber using microstrip line in a frequency range of 2–20 GHz. Compared to the pure buckypaper the absorption peak of the Co-CNT composites move to the lower frequency by dispersing the Co nanoparticles into the MWCNT-BP.
