Electromagnetic Interference Shielding Effectiveness and Thermal Properties of Silicone Rubber Composites Filled with Ferric Oxides

초록

In this study, the electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness and thermal properties of silicone rubber composites filled with various ferric oxides produced as by-products during a steel manufacturing process were analyzed. Black ferric oxide (BFO) can absorb electromagnetic waves by magnetism, and yellow ferric oxyhydroxide (YFO) can absorb electromagnetic waves by water molecules between crystal structures. This was confirmed by electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness (EMI SE) analysis through a vector network analyzer (VNA) and complex permittivity and complex permeability calculated by Nichlson-Ross-Wier (NRW) equation. The size of the iron oxide particles was confirmed through SEM and particle size analyzer, and thermal properties of the silicone rubber composite filled with ferric oxides were confirmed through TGA, XRD, and thermal conductivity analysis. Silicone rubber composite filled with BFO has the highest EMI SE and the composite filled with red ferric oxide (RFO) has the best thermal conductivity and thermal stability. 152
