Abstract
Natural rubber (NR) based nanocomposites containing a constant amount (50 phr) of standard furnace carbon black and carbon nanotube (CNT) at a concentration from 1 to 5 phr have been prepared. Their dielectric (dielectric permittivity and dielectric loss) and microwave properties (coefficients of absorption and reflection of the electromagnetic waves and electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness) have been investigated in the 1–12 GHz frequency range. The results achieved allow recommending CNTs as second filler for NR based composites to afford specific absorbing properties.
