Enhanced Microwave Absorption Performance of Agriculture Corn Husk waste mixing with CNT

Abstract

Agriculture residues have been used to design environmental friendly microwave absorbers for different applications such as anechoic chamber, health and defense based on their dielectric properties. In this paper, the dielectric parameters of two samples, one is corn husk (CH) and second is CHCNT composite (Corn husk blended with 1 wt% of multi-walled carbon nanotubes) are determined, by using transmission line method Furthermore, the simulated reflectivity of the fabricated samples are measured using CST microwave studio using calculated dielectric properties.
