Popis: A novel lightweight onion-like carbon (OLC) based Poly(methyl metacrylate) (PMMA) composite with high electromagnetic (EM) absorption capability determined earlier in microwave range is studied in low frequencies from 20 Hz to 1 MHz by dielectric spectroscopy. The investigation of dielectric properties of PMMA films with incorporated OLC in small concentration (0.5–2 wt.%) have been carried out by varying the temperature between 240 and 520 K. The temperature behavior of the complex permittivity at a given frequency is found to be strongly dependent on the OLC concentration. The experimental data are in quantitative agreement with the results of modified effective medium calculations of OLC-based polymer film's permittivity. Both the experimental observations and theoretical simulation demonstrate that small additions of onion-like carbon particles to a polymer matrix can noticeably modify the composite response to low-frequency EM radiation as well as improve its thermal stability (increased glass transition and melting temperatures, correspondingly).
