Comparison of magnetic and microwave absorbing properties between multiwalled carbon nanotubes nanocomposite, nickel zinc ferrite nanocomposite and hybrid nanocomposite

Three types of fillers were incorporated in the thermoplastic natural rubber by melt blending process. They are NiZn ferrite, multiwalled carbon nanotubes, and hybrid NiZn ferrite/multiwalled carbon nanotubes followed by weight ratio of 1:1. Their magnetic properties and microwave absorbing properties were investigated. The ball-milled techniques, resulted good filler dispersion in hybrid nanocomposite, proven by the matching saturation magnetization experimental values with the theory calculation. It was found that the magnetic property strongly depends on the amount of magnetic particles in the nanocomposites. The mixing of two different types of filler (multiwalled carbon nanotubes and NiZn ferrite) showed an enhancement of the microwave properties at lower filler loading.
