MANUFACTURING OF COMPOSITE MATERIALS USED FOR CAMOUFLAGING AND CONCEALMENT FOR UAV (STEALTH)

Abstract

composite materials used for camouflaging and concealment for unmanned aerial vehicles UAV from radar waves are prepared by using Graphene / polyethylene matrix. Graphene used in the matrix are in the form of chemically reduced graphene oxide RGO or thermally reduced graphene intercalated GI-Th. Characterization are done for both pure graphite G, RGO and GI-Th. Composite polymer matrix is prepared utilizing 0.7 g sample of 10, 20 and 30% mass loading of G, RGO and GI-Th. EM measurements are done by using Network Analyzer device under the frequency range (8-12)GHz to obtain RL and TL of the composites.
