In this study, we prepared magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles via a rare facile sol-gel method followed by a calcination process. Then, Fe3O4 and polyvinylidene fluoride (Fe3O4@PVDF) nanocomposite were prepared and the electromagnetic wave absorption (EMWA) properties were studied using the finite element method. Characterization techniques employed in this study include; X-ray diffraction, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and Transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The microwave absorption properties of Fe3O4@PVDF were studied at the X-band (8.2-12.4 »GHz) and Ku-band (12.4-18 »GHz) frequency range. The Fe3O4@PVDF nanocomposite displayed minimum reflection loss of -62.7 dB at 16.9 GHz for 3.5 mm thick sample. These outstanding EMWA coefficients could be attributed to favorable impedance match from outstanding dielectric and magnetic loss mechanisms. © 2020 The Authors. date: 2020 publisher: Elsevier Editora Ltda official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85081660007&doi=10.1016%2fj.jmrt.2019.12.082&partnerID=40&md5=b8e74daf558343f9fcc76e826bff81b9 id_number: 10.1016/j.jmrt.2019.12.082 full_text_status: none publication: Journal of Materials Research and Technology volume: 9 number: 2 pagerange: 2513-2521 refereed: TRUE issn: 22387854 citation: Adebayo, L.L. and Soleimani, H. and Yahya, N. and Abbas, Z. and Sabet, M. and Wahaab, F.A. and Ayinla, R.T.
