Abstract

Bamboo-like and cubic single-crystalline silicon carbide nanowhiskers (SiCNWs) were synthesized using multiwalled carbon nanotube via a process of calcination in the molten-salt circumstance. The system was heated to 1,250 °C and maintained for 6 h in argon atmosphere, and obtained the sample. The as-prepared sample was characterized by a series of techniques. Especially, the microwave absorption properties of SiCNWs/paraffin composites (30 wt%) were investigated over 2–14 GHz. The result shows the optimal reflection loss can reach −48.1 dB at 13.52 GHz when the thickness of the match is only 1.9 mm. The excellent microwave absorption properties of the SiCNWs/paraffin composites due to the dielectric loss would make it as a promising candidate for the application of absorbing materials. In addition, a possible growth mechanism of SiCNWs was also discussed.
