Abstract:

In order to develop a novel fibrous electromagnetic wave absorbing material, natural loofah was used as the base material of a carbon mesh, with Fe3O4 loaded onto the surface and internal pores of the loofah fiber through in-situ hybridization. The material properties were characterized and analyzed by scanning electron microscope, X-ray photoelectron spectrometer, vibrating sample magnetometer hysteresis loop analysis and electromagnetic parameter analysis. Results show that loofah-based carbon material preserves the special hollow structure, Fe3O4 particles are uniformly distributed on the fiber surface and internal pores, and the synergy between dielectric loss, magnetic loss and fiber structure enhances the electromagnetic wave loss of the material. When the solubility of FeCl3 is 2 mol/L and the processing temperature is 700 ℃, in the range of 2-18 GHz, and the sample has a thickness of 3 mm, the electromagnetic wave loss reaches -24.37 dB at 9.97 GHz, and at 7.33-10.33 GHz the electromagnetic wave loss in the frequency band is less than -10 dB. The loofah fiber can be prepared into electromagnetic wave absorbing material with excellent performance through suitable carbonization and Fe3O4 loading process.

Key words: composite material, loofah fiber, Fe3O4, dielectric loss, magnetic loss, electromagnetic wave absorption, in-situ hybridization technology
