Abstract

Analysis of the electromagnetic properties of composite materials based on epoxy resin with the addition of 0.5 wt % graphene nanoplates in the frequency range of 26–37 GHz is performed. The influence of types of epoxy resin with different viscosities and the type of solvent used (ethanol, acetone) on the electromagnetic response in this frequency range are determined. It is established that the least viscous epoxy resin, Epikote 828, and solvent ethanol are most effective for creation of a shielding covering in the microwave range. Composite materials with optimal composition provide attenuation of the electromagnetic signal at a level at least 10 dB in power for a film thickness of 1.1 mm.
