ITO sols were deposited on glass fiber woven fabrics by spray pyrolysis technique and electrical conductivity of these layers was controlled to incorporate electromagnetic (EM) wave absorbing characteristics to glass fabrics. The surface functionalized fabrics were used as reinforcement in a hybrid type multilayer EM wave absorbing composite which is a combination of Jaumann and graded type absorbers effective in 8-12 GHz frequency range (X-band). The effects of the conductivity and the cascading order for ITO coated layers on the electromagnetic behavior of the hybrid type multilayered composite were investigated. The main objective was to create a guideline for the design of multilayer EM wave absorbing composite according to the needs of a specific application. The highest composite design has been formed by cascading six ITO coated fabrics both with and without metal sheet placed at the back of the composite. This composite has ~-11 dB reflection loss and ~-9 dB transmission loss which corresponds to ~85% average absorption without metallic sheet, while its reflection loss and average absorption values are ~-10.5 dB and ~93%, respectively, in the X-band with metallic backing. The front layer of multilayered structure with the lowest surface conductivity provided impedance matching between air and the receiving surface of the composite minimizing reflection, where the gradual increase in surface conductivity of the layers towards the back provided balanced internal reflection and transmission leading to high overall EM wave absorption. Consequently, by controlling the grading of the surface conductivity of the layers the reflection and transmission response of the multilayered composites can be adjusted to provide tailored characteristics for the required EM wave absorption levels.

Characterization of electromagnetic wave absorbing properties of sic-based and alumina ceramic woven fabrics Tan, Elvan; Dericioğlu, Arcan Fehmi; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2008) Electromagnetic wave absorbing properties of SiC-based and alumina ceramic woven fabrics have been investigated. Electrical conductivities of SiC-based ceramic woven fabrics were modified by heat treatment in air resulting in their oxidation. Surface properties of alumina woven fabrics were altered by gold-sputtering resulting in a high conductivity layer on the surface of the wovens. Electromagnetic wave interactions of single layer and double layered combinations of these ceramic woven fabrics were determ...
Microstructure, resistivity, and shear strength of electrically conductive adhesives made of silver-coated copper powder Hamrah, Z. Sahebi; Lashgari, V. A.; Mohammadi, M. H. Doost; Üner, Deniz; Pourabdoli, M. (2021-12-01) Electrically conductive adhesives were made using silver-coated copper powders (filler) and epoxy. Resistivity, microstructure and shear strength of prepared adhesives were studied using two-point resistance measurements, Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and universal tensile tests, respectively. Effect of filler concentration (70-85 wt%), silver concentration (10-50 wt%), particles morphology (flake or spherical) and addition of graphite (2-15 wt%) were investigated on prepared adhesives properties. Resu...
Structural and optoelectronic properties of vanadium pentoxide thin films deposited by ultrasonic spray pyrolysis. Koç, Şeyma; Ünalan, Hüsnü Emrah; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2019) Nanocrystalline vanadium pentoxide (V2O5) thin films were deposited onto fluorine doped tin oxide (FTO) coated glass substrates using ultrasonic spray pyrolysis and spin coating methods. The formation behavior of thin films, the effects of different production methods on the characteristics of the films and their microstructural / physical properties were investigated as a function of annealing temperature in the range of 450-550 °C and other controllable process parameters. Structural, morphological and op...
Improvement of multiband absorption with different technics (graphene, ito, and hole) for metamaterial absorber at optical frequencies Mulla, Batuhan; Sabah, Cumali (2018-10-01) Three absorption improvement techniques are numerically applied to a multiband metamaterial absorber design for solar energy harvesting. These techniques are the following: the reshaping of the back metallic plate, the integrating of graphene sheets, and the utilizing of indium tin oxide (ITO), in the design. Based on numerical simulation results, each of these methods has the capacity to enhance total absorption rates. In addition to the enhancement in the total absorption rates, new absorption peaks are a...
Formation and characterization of infrared absorbing copper oxide surfaces Arslan, Burcu; Erdogan, Metehan; Karakaya, İshak (2017-04-30) Copper oxide formation has been investigated to combine the advantages of producing different size and shapes of coatings that possess good light absorbing properties. An aqueous blackening solution was investigated and optimum composition was found as 2.5 M NaOH and 0.225 M NaClO to form velvet copper oxide films. A two-step oxidation mechanism was proposed for the blackening process by carefully examining the experimental results. Formation of Cu2O was observed until the entire copper surface was covered ...
