Study of the Dielectric Properties and Conductivity of Double Coated Glass Fibre Felt Composites.

Graphite/talcum powder double-coated glass fibre felt composites were prepared using glass fibre felt as the base material, graphite as the surface absorbing agent, talcum powder as the underlying absorbing agent, epoxy resin E44 as the adhesive and low molecular 650 polyamide as the curing agent. The influences of the surface graphite content and underlying talcum powder content on the dielectric properties and conductivity of glass fibre felt composites were the main focus of the investigation. Results showed that when the frequency is less than 103 Hz, the values of the real and imaginary parts of the dielectric constant for double-coated glass fibre felt composites are largest when the surface graphite content is 50%. When the frequency is larger than 106 Hz, the value of the real part of the conductivity is largest when the graphite contents are 40% and 50%. When the frequency is less than 104Hz, the real part of the dielectric constant of the glass fiber mat composites is the largest when the talc content is 40%, and when talc content is 60%, the imaginary part of dielectric constant of glass fiber mat composites is the largest. The maximum loss tangent value for the composites occurs when the talcum powder content is 40%. When the frequency is larger, the value of the real part of the conductivity increases gradually.
