Carbon nanotube-Yttrium iron garnet nanohybrid synthesized via chemical vapor deposition and its potential application in fabricated screen-printed patch antenna.

Carbon nanotube-Yttrium iron garnet (CNT-YIG) nanohybrid has been successfully synthesized using chemical vapor deposition (CVD) with yttrium iron garnet (YIG) nanopowders as catalyst, ethanol as carbon stock, and argon as carrier gas. Carbon nanotube (CNT) was observed to have grown from the YIG nanopowders with bamboo-like structures of CNT at a synthesis temperature of 900 °C. FESEM and RAMAN characterization indicated that the CNT-YIG nanohybrid exhibited the growth of bamboo-like CNT with high graphitization.

Structural, Electromagnetic and Microwave Properties of Magnetite Extracted from Mill Scale Waste via Conventional Ball Milling and Mechanical Alloying Techniques.

This study presents the utilization of mill scale waste, which has attracted much attention due to its high content of magnetite (FeO). This work focuses on the extraction of FeO from mill scale waste via magnetic separation, and ball milling was used to fabricate a microwave absorber. The extracted magnetic powder was ground-milled using two different techniques: (i) a conventional milling technique (CM) and (ii) mechanical alloying (MM) process.

Isochronal recovery behaviour on electromagnetic properties of polycrystalline nickel zinc ferrite (NiZnFeO) prepared via mechanical alloying.

A new approach through heat treatment has been attempted by establishing defects by the process of quenching towards electrical and magnetic properties in the nickel zinc ferrite (NiZnFeO) sample. The measured property values in permeability and hysteresis characteristic gave their recovery behaviour in which the values, after quenching were recovered after undergoing the annealing. Interestingly, a different trend observed in the permittivity value whereas the value was increased after quenching and subsequently recovered after annealing.

A Study on Microwave Absorption Properties of Carbon Black and NiZnFeO Nanocomposites by Tuning the Matching-Absorbing Layer Structures.

Microwave absorption properties were systematically studied for double-layer carbon black/epoxy resin (CB) and NiZnFeO/epoxy resin (F) nanocomposites in the frequency range of 8 to 18 GHz. The NiZnFeO nanoparticles were synthesized via high energy ball milling with subsequent sintering while carbon black was commercially purchased. The materials were later incorporated into epoxy resin to fabricate double-layer composite structures with total thicknesses of 2 and 3 mm.

An investigation of microstructural, magnetic and microwave absorption properties of multi-walled carbon nanotubes/NiZnFeO.

The enhancement of microwave absorbing properties in nickel zinc ferrite (NiZnFeO) via multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) growth is studied in this research work. NiZnFeO was initially synthesized by mechanical alloying followed by sintering at 1200 °C and the microstructural, electromagnetic and microwave characteristics have been scrutinized thoroughly. The sintered powder was then used as a catalyst to grow MWCNT derived from chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method.

A Hydrogen Gas Sensor Based on TiO₂ Nanoparticles on Alumina Substrate.

High demand of semiconductor gas sensor works at low operating temperature to as low as 100 °C has led to the fabrication of gas sensor based on TiO₂ nanoparticles. A sensing film of gas sensor was prepared by mixing the sensing material, TiO₂ (P25) and glass powder, and B₂O₃ with organic binder. The sensing film was annealed at temperature of 500 °C in 30 min.
