    Silicon carbide (SiC) is well known for their outstanding microwave absorbing properties. SiC nanomaterials (SiCNMs) are expected to have better microwave absorption performance due to their high specific surface area. To date, no study was reported to compare the dielectric properties and microwave absorbing properties of different type of SiCNMs. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to compare the dielectric properties and microwave absorption properties of different types of SiCNMs. In this paper, SiC nanoparticles (SiCNPs) and SiC nanowhiskers (SiCNWs) were characterised using SEM and XRD. In addition, their dielectric properties and microwave absorbing properties were measured using network analyser and transmission line theory. It was found that SiCNWs achieved higher dielectric constant and loss factor which are and εr’ =17.94 and εr″ = 2.64 compared to SiCNPs that only achieved εr’ = 2.83 and εr″ = 0.71. For microwave absorbing properties, SiCNWs and SiCNPs attained minimum reflection loss of -10.41 dB and -6.83 dB at 5.68 GHz and 17.68 GHz, respectively. The minimum reflection loss of SiCNPs and SiCNWs obtained in this study is much lower than the nanometer-SiC reported previously. These results suggested that SiCNWs can be an ideal candidate of microwave susceptors for various microwave applications

    In this work, graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) filled epoxy nanocomposites with the addition of different dispersing agents were fabricated using a method combines mechanical mixing and tip sonication. The loading of GNPs used is 0.8 vol% determined previously as the amount required to achieve the percolation threshold to conduct electricity. Three dispersing agents were used in this work: Sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS), ethanol and Phenyl glycidyl ether (PGE), with loadings varying from 2 vol% to 10 vol%. The incorporation of dispersing agent enhanced the electrical bulk conductivity of GNPs filled nanocomposites. The mechanical performance (flexural properties and fracture toughness) of the nanocomposite were evaluated and compared. The optimum loading of SDS to obtain the highest flexural strength and fracture toughness is 2 vol%, where further increases will deteriorate the performance of nanocomposites. On the other hand, the optimum loading of ethanol and PGE are 4 vol%. The fracture toughness of GNPs filled nanocomposites improved with the addition of 2 vol% SDS and deteriorated with increasing loadings of SDS up to 10 vol%. By incorporating 4 vol% of ethanol, the optimum fracture toughness of the nanocomposite is achieved. Fracture toughness is then dropped with further increases in ethanol. The addition of PGE caused deterioration in fracture toughness of GNPs filled epoxy nanocomposite.
