Abstract:

Polyaniline/CoFe2O4 binary nano-composites were prepared by coordination-oxidative polymerization-hydrothermal method, and doped by sulfosalicylic acid. The influence of reactants ratio and concentration of doping acid on electromagnetic properties of resulting composites was investigated. The micrographs, structure and electromagnetic properties of polyaniline/CoFe2O4 composites were characterized by TEM, XRD, FTIR and electromagnetic measurements. The results indicate that the prepared composite show a multi-level structure in which CoFe2O4 is cube-shaped with an average particle size less than 20 nm. The optimal experimental results were as follows: the conductivity of the composite is about 0.43 S/cm when the content of CoFe2O4 in composite is 8.86%(mass fraction). When the thickness of PAn/CoFe2O4 composite is at 2 mm, a maximum reflection loss of -16.71 dB at 16.01 GHz is observed with a bandwidth of 4.68 GHz above -10 dB loss; and when the thickness of PAn/CoFe2O4 composite is at 3.2 mm, a maximum reflection loss of -51.81 dB at 9.23 GHz is observed with a bandwidth of 3.69 GHz above -10 dB loss. The nanocomposite exhibits excellent microwave absorbing capacity.
