Preparation, magnetism and microwave absorption performance of ultra-thin Fe3O4/carbon nanotube sandwich buckypaper

Fe3O4/multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) sandwich buckypapers were fabricated with monodispersion solutions of MWCNTs and Fe3O4 nanoparticles through layer by layer vacuum filtration method. The Fe3O4/MWCNTs sandwich buckypaper can be co-cured on the surface of fiber reinforce composites and exhibits excellent magnetism and microwave absorbing ability only with a 0.1 mm thickness absorbing layer.
