RF Polymer Research

Abstract

Magneto-dielectric materials offer a new design space for radio frequency (RF) passive components such as antennas, circulators, feed networks, radomes, etc. Polymer nanocomposites offer a means to tailor electric and magnetic properties as well as define necessary mechanical and thermal properties. Recent advances in nanocomposite synthesis methods offer the potential for dramatically different electric and magnetic properties as compared to conventional materials. This research project investigated homogenization techniques, measurement techniques, and potential application of RF polymer nanocomposites.
