Progress In Electromagnetics Research C, Vol. 147, 127-134, 2024
Abstract
This study investigates the preparation and characterization of barium titanate-epoxy resin composites, focusing on main factors influencing the dielectric properties of that composite materials. Using a 2k fractional factorial design, the effects of heating temperature, stirring speed, stirring time, and hardening process on the permittivity were thoroughly investigated. Sixteen samples were prepared and analyzed using Design-Expert software, with permittivity measurements conducted via the waveguide method and a Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) in the 4-6 GHz range. Results show significant impacts from stirring time and speed, with optimal conditions identified as 50°C heating, 500 rpm stirring speed, three minutes stirring time, and room temperature hardening from two-level factorial analysis (TLFA). These findings provide valuable insights into the best fabrication conditions for barium titanite-epoxy resin composites, contributing to the development of antenna substrate with a permittivity value of 7.0208 and a loss tangent of 0.0238 that is suitable for high-frequency communication applications.
