Microwave Absorbing Material Using Rubber & Carbon

Development of a new type of microwave absorbing material using rubber latex and carbon. for application in the interior lining of anechoic chambers, has been reported. Absorption coefficients of different combinations were estimated at X and S bands and the results were presented graphically. A combination of 50% rubber latex, 40% carbon and 10% graphite is found to form an ideal microwave absorbing material in the X and s bands
