The nanomaterial with ferrite structure was heat-treated at different temperatures from 700 to 1000°C. The phase identification, crystallinity, and morphology of the prepared samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). LIG ferrite nano powder was composited with polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) by solvent method. The magnitudes of reflection and transmission coefficients of PVDF (13 LIG) were measured using rectangular waveguide in conjunction with a microwave vector network analyzer (VNA) in X-band frequency. The results showed that with varying the thickness of the obtained LIG-polymer nanocomposite, reflection coefficient/transmission coefficient ratio can be tuned. © The Author(s) 2011. date: 2012 official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84860450679&doi=10.1177%2f0021998311423857&partnerID=40&md5=4c6560c78e9b315db8d071de6a5f9008 id_number: 10.1177/0021998311423857 full_text_status: none publication: Journal of Composite Materials volume: 46 number: 12 pagerange: 1497-1501 refereed: TRUE issn: 00219983 citation: Soleimani, H. and Abbas, Z. and Yahya, N. and Soleimani, H. and Ghotbi, M.Y.
