Abstract
In this work, a novel multifunctional polymethacrylimide (PMI) foam sandwich structure with enhanced electromagnetic (EM) wave transmissivity and compressive properties is proposed aiming at the demand of high-performance radome structures for aeronautic industry. A double-parabolic-shaped copper arrays is designed and formed a spoof surface plasmon polaritons (SSPPs) structure, which was embedded into the traditional PMI foam sandwich to enhance its microwave transmission property. The simulation and experimental results indicated that the average transmissivity can be increased by 20.9% due to SSPPs structure involvement, which can restrain and regulate the propagation path of EM wave. At the same time, the polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) boards plated with the proposed SSPPs structure are inserted into the PMI foam core in the form of interlocking square honeycomb. The coupling effect between honeycomb and PMI foam where the buckling of honeycomb wall is restrained, leading to a significant improvement of compressive strength and energy absorption by 95% and 72%, respectively. Overall, present simultaneous enhancement design of PMI foam sandwich structure with EM wave transmission and compressive properties can provide a novel and practical design scheme of radome structure.
