Recently, using microwave devices that emit electromagnetic waves and enhance the convenience of life have increased; however, they can be harmful to the environment. In this study, CuFe2O4 nanoparticles were prepared through the conventional sol-gel procedure and then were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and vector network analyzer (VNA) using S parameters. Results illustrated that pure crystal structure of magnetic nanoparticles has been synthesized by the sol-gel method with magnetic saturation (Ms) of 22 emu/g. Finally, CuFe2O4 nanoparticles were composited by silicone rubber to investigate its microwave absorption properties. Results showed that the CuFe2O4/silicone rubber nanocomposite absorbed more than 94.87% of the microwave irradiation at ku-band frequency with 1.7 mm thickness and the maximum reflection loss was −60.38 dB at 16.1 GHz. Magnetic and dielectric properties of the CuFe2O4 nanoparticles and silicone rubber polymeric matrix in the nanocomposite demonstrated desirable microwave absorption properties.

In the last decade, spinel structures have been widely explored due to widespread applications in antibacterial nanocomposites, memory devices, catalysts, photocatalysts, high-frequency devices, and electromagnetic absorbing materials. In this study, BaFe2O4 spinel structures were synthesized through the sol–gel method using a low sintering temperature and were identified by vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), and vector network analyzer (VNA) analysis. Results showed that uniform and pure crystal structures of BaFe2O4 nanoparticles were prepared based on the sol–gel method. Finally, BaFe2O4 nanoparticles were blended by silicone rubber to characterize the microwave absorption properties of the nanocomposite at the ku-band frequency. According to the VNA results, the BaFe2O4/silicone rubber nanocomposite with 1.75 mm thickness absorbed more than 94.38% of microwave irradiation along the ku-band frequency and the maximum reflection loss of the BaFe2O4/silicone rubber nanocomposite was 51.67 dB at 16.1 GHz.

M-typical SrFe12O19 ferrites and FeNi3 nanoplatelets were successfully prepared by the sol-gel method and solution phase reduction method, respectively. The crystalline and morphology of particles were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The composite coatings with SrFe12O19 ferrites and FeNi3 nanoplatelets in polyvinylchloride matrix were prepared. The microwave absorption properties of these coatings were investigated in 2-18GHz frequency range. The results showed that the M-typical SrFe12O19 ferrites and FeNi3 nanoplatelets were obtained and they presented irregular sheet shapes. With the increase of the coating thickness, the absorbing peak value moves to the lower frequency. The absorbing peak values of the wave increase along with the increasing of the content of FeNi3 nanoplatelets filling fraction. When 40% SrFe12O19 ferrites is doped with 20% mass fraction FeNi3 nanoplatelets to prepare composite with 1.5mm thickness, the maximum reflection loss is -24.8 dB at 7.9GHz and the -10 dB bandwidth reaches 3.2GHz.
