Electromagnetic shielding effectiveness improvement with high temperature in far‐field behavior multiwall carbon nanotube/iron (III) particles addition in composites

Abstract The hybrid polymer composite (HPMC) are increasingly used in the most shielding applications in the far field region, but the main problem is these HPMC should be having a good shielding efficiency and works at high temperature. The purpose of this research study was to prepare a high stable microwave shielding hybrid polymer composite for incremental temperature implementations with surface modified MWCNTs and Fe₂O₃ filled contents. In this paper, the kenaf fiber, Iron (III) oxide and MWCNTs particles were surface‐treated by APTMS for effective dispersion and adhesion on epoxy matrix medium. The morphology of the obtained shields was investigated by scanning electron microscopy. Thus, additions of MWCNTs and Iron (III) oxide particles increase the magnetic permeability and electrical permittivity of epoxy polymer matrix at high temperature (25°C‐100°C‐200°C). The kenaf fibers increase the mechanical properties such as the flexural, tensile. The principal advantages of these compositions are its low cost and its higher electrical conductivity which make it a suitable material as shielding material against electromagnetic field at high temperature. For electromagnetic compatibility in the far‐field regions, the adequate SE in the frequency range of 2 to 18 GHz of the epoxy polymer matrix‐kenaf fiber conducting composites was obtained by adding the MWCNT and Fe₂O₃ particles.
