Multilayer radar absorbing material processing by using polymeric nonwoven and conducting polymer

This study shows the processing of radar absorbing multilayer structures based on nonwoven substrates of polyacrylonitrile and poly (ethylene terephthalate) impregnated with a polyaniline and polyurethane mixture. Processed materials with different parameters - layer stacking and impregnated faces - were evaluated considering the incident radiation attenuation in the frequency range of 8 to 12 GHz. The results show the influence of the quantity, types and thickness of the impregnated layers. Scanning electronic microscopy observations evaluated the anchorage of the absorbing center (polyaniline) in the substrate. In a general way, the different obtained structures presented incident radiation attenuation values between 87 and 99%. This result allows its use as microwave absorbers.
