Abstract
The relationships between the electrical conductivity and the microwave absorption properties of flaky FeSiCr/paraffin (FFSC/P) composites were studied. When the filler loading reached the percolation threshold, the FFSC/P absorber had better electromagnetic parameters, reflection loss, and absorption bandwidth. With a filler loading of 30 wt%, the FFSC/P absorber exhibited a strong reflection loss of −44.36 dB in the C-band (4−8 GHz) and an absorption bandwidth of 5.08 GHz covering the whole X-band (8−12 GHz). This work has demonstrated a route for the materials design of high-performance microwave absorbers.
