This study investigates the dielectric, magnetic, and microwave absorbing properties Of Sm2O3-filled multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) synthesized by wet chemical method. The complex permittivity and permeability were measured at a microwave frequency range of 2-18 GHz. Sm2O3 nanoparticles encapsulated in the cavities enhance the magnetic loss of MWCNTs. The calculated results indicate that the bandwith of absorbing peak of the modified MWCNTs is much broader than that of unfilled MWCNTs. The maximum reflectivity (R) is about - 12.22 dB at 13.40 GHz and corresponding bandwidth below -5 dB is more than 5.11 GHz. With the increase of thickness. the peak of R shifts to lower frequency, and multiple absorbing peaks appear, which helps to broaden microwave absorbing bandwidth. (c) 2008 Elsevier B.V.
