Hardened Glass Particle and Carbon Black using Resin for Potential Electromagnetic Shielding in Biomedical Electronic Equipments

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the electromagnetic properties of a composite of hardened glass particle and carbon using resin in determining the absorbability of the composite for electromagnetic interference (EMI). The electromagnetic absorption measurement was conducted using T-R method (transmission-reflection) by measuring the dielectric constant, loss factor, real and imaginary part of permeability, reflection coefficient and transmission coefficient. The measurement is taken for X band frequency and Ku band frequency within the frequency range from 8.2GHz to 12.4GHz and 12.4GHz to 18GHz, respectively. Dielectric constant of sample decrease when frequency increases. The high dielectric constant of material implies that the material has high absorbability of field energy, resulting in high attenuation of the applied field.
