In this paper, the dielectric and microwave properties of carbon black/siloxane rubber-based nanocomposites have been investigated in the frequency range from 1 GHz till 12 GHz according to the content of carbon black and the frequency. It has been established that the increasing frequency and filler content lead to an increase in the relative permittivity and tangent of dielectric loss angle. At higher filler content, the effects become more pronounced, especially those upon dielectric loss. It has been also established that there are two well-distinguished areas in all dependences of microwave properties on frequency and filler content increasing. The first is between 1 and 8 GHz wherein the reflection and attenuation of microwaves do not change considerably with frequency and filler content alternation while shielding effectiveness worsens. The second area is between 8 and 12 GHz wherein the reflection and attenuation of microwaves increase drastically with the increasing frequency and filler content. Shielding effectiveness improves, too. It has been established that in all cases the degree of correlation between dielectric and microwave properties evaluated on the basis of the coefficients of correlation calculation is perfect.

The methods for measuring the parameters of dielectric materials of foil plates have been considered. It has been shown that for “non-destructive measurements” (i.e., without removing the metal foil from the dielectric plate), a method based on the excitation of electromagnetic oscillations in a rectangular plate considered as a resonator can be used. Based on the results of measurements of their resonant frequencies and Q-factors, the relative permittivity and the tangent of the dielectric loss angle of the material can be determined. The calculated relations obtained by the authors of the article in one of the early works using the electrodynamic model of a resonator with “magnetic walls” at the ends have been presented. The Q-factor of the resonator has been calculated by the perturbation method, taking into account the losses in the plate dielectric and metallization layers. The results of measurements for four samples from different dielectrics in the frequency range 200...1000 MHz have been presented. The experimental method has been described, in particular, the method of identifying the type of oscillation, the procedure for processing the measurement results. Due to the high sensitivity of the vector analyzer, measurements have been made with a possible small connection of the resonator (metallized plate) with the measuring circuit. This made it possible to minimize the influence of the coupling elements on the measured Qfactor of the oscillations and to consider this Q-factor close to its own. The presented results are in good agreement with the reference data for the materials. The conducted studies have shown the possibility of using a resonator model with “magnetic walls” at the ends for the analysis of electromagnetic oscillations in a foil dielectric plate and, accordingly, using the relations obtained in this case to determine the parameters of the dielectric plate. The conditions for using this model are the small thickness of the plate in comparison with its transverse dimensions and relatively low operating frequencies. The method, which is based on the calculated ratios of the electrodynamic model of the resonator with “magnetic” walls at the ends, provides a sufficiently high accuracy of determining the relative permittivity of the plate material, which led to the use of it (the method) in practice to control the parameters of foil dielectric plates intended for the manufacture of microwave and UHF-band microcircuits. The studies, the results of which have been presented in this paper, allow us to conclude that this method can also be recommended for determining the tangent of the dielectric loss angle of the plate material.

Precise measurement of dielectric loss angle is very important for electric capacity equipment in recent power systems. When signal-to-noise is low and fundamental frequency is fluctuating, aiming at the measuring error of dielectric loss angle based on some recent Fourier transform and wavelet transform harmonics analysis method, we propose a novel algorithm based on sparse representation, and improved it to be more flexible for signal sampling. Comparison experiments describe the advantages of our method.

Abstract In the case of vulcanizates containing carbon black the variation curves of dielectric loss angle as a function of temperature enable the Debye type absorption occurring in the rubber matrix to be distinguished from a supplementary absorption little influenced by variations in temperature and frequency which is characteristic of blacks possessing a structure. The experimental results obtained indicate no difference in physical or chemical state between the matrix occupying the space between the particles of black in a loaded mix and the vulcanizate of the corresponding pure rubber mix. The supplementary losses on the other hand seem to be closely related to the effects of structure in loaded mixes imagined by Mullins to explain the mechanical behavior of these mixes: they decrease very rapidly by elongation or swelling and give rise to various phenomena of hysteresis. It would seem that dielectric absorption could advantageously be applied as a nondestructive test revealing the colloidal structure of rubber mixes based on carbon black. Moreover the dielectric constant would enable information to be obtained on the form factor and the orientation of the particles or agglomerates of particles of black in mixes on the basis of a theory assimilating these particles (or agglomerates) to condenser armatures.
