摘要

In this study, flexible elastomers are developed as microwave absorbers for industrial and defence applications by incorporating strontium ferrite (SrFe12O19) and titanium carbide (TiC) into a thermoset polyurethane (PU) matrix. These samples are characterized for their morphological, structural, and thermal properties employing FE-SEM, FTIR, XRD, and TGA analysis, respectively. The hardness, tensile test, and tear resistance of elastomers are used to determine the mechanical properties. These elastomers are characterized for their microwave absorption properties in X-band frequency region. It exhibits a minimum reflection loss (RL) of − 28.14 dB in the X-band with a bandwidth of 3.5 GHz. The synergistic interaction between magnetic-dielectric phases improves the impedance matching within the thermoset polyurethane elastomer. SrFe12O19-TiC/PU elastomer exhibits excellent thermal, mechanical, and electromagnetic absorption properties, making them ideal for use in microwave absorption applications, including industrial such as anechoic chambers and defence purposes.
