Notes:
The carbon nanotubes were prepared by catalytic decompose of benzene using floatingtransition method at 1100~1200℃. Benzene was used as carbon source and iron as catalyst withsulfur. The carbon nanotubes are straight with diameter 30~80nm, internal diameter 10~50nm andlength 50~100μm. The carbon nanotubes and epoxy resin were sufficiently mixed. The mixturewas smeared on to a pure aluminum plate layer by layer until the thickness of the composite layerreached 1.0 mm. The coating resin was cured by heating under infrared radiation. Complexpermittivity, permeability and microwave reflectivity of carbon nanotubes reinforced epoxy resincoating had been investigated at the frequency ranges of 8.2~12.4GHz and 2~18GHz respectively.The real part (ε′) of complex permittivity of this coating ranges from 14.87 to 13.86, and theimaginary part (ε″), from 6.42 to 5.87, the loss tangent tgδε (ε″/ε′), from 0.42 to 0.45. The real part(μ′) of complex permeability of this coating ranges from 1.02 to 1.14, and the imaginary part (μ″),from 0.08 to 0.11, the loss tangent tgδμ (μ″/μ′), from 0.06 to 0.11. The maximum absorbing peak ofthe carbon nanotube reinforced epoxy resin coating is 22.89 dB at 11.40GHz. The band width(R〈-10dB) of this coating with thickness of 1.0 mm is 3.0GHz, band width (R〈-5dB) is 4.7GHz atthe frequency range of 8~18GHz. This carbon nanotube reinforced epoxy resin coating would be agood candidate for microwave absorbing material
