Abstract
In this study, silicon carbide powders were manufactured successfully by the method of preheating combustion synthesis in nitrogen atmosphere where it was introduced into an epoxy resin to produce a microwave absorber. The structure of the silicon carbide was characterized by using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Composite based on the various loadings of silicon carbide and epoxy resin specimens were prepared and the reflection losses of these composite samples were studied using the free space method. Based on the microwave measurements, microwave absorber specimens of silicon carbide with thermal plastic resin at frequencies between 2 and 18 and 18–40 GHz could be obtained from a matching thickness of 2.0 mm by controlling the content of silicon carbide.
