Data confidence 85 high
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Ternary composites of polyaniline/Ni0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4/carbonyl iron (PANI/F/CI) are prepared via two stages. Firstly, Ni0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4 is prepared using a sol-gel method. After that, PANI/F/CI composites are prepared us-ing an in-situ polymerization technique of PANI in the existence of the Ni0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4 and CI. X-ray diffractometry (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, Ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectros-copy, and Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) are utilized to characterize samples. The morphology of the powders is investigated by Scanning electron microscope (SEM). The electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding and microwave absorption (MA) properties are measured in the frequency band of 8.8–12 GHz to investigate the microwave characterization. The results refer those microwave absorption properties are relat-ed to the absorber thickness and the loading ratio of the absorber within a paraffin matrix. Minimal reflection loss of –30.8 dB at the matching frequency (fm) of 10.3 GHz and the absorption bandwidth under –10 dB (BW–10dB) of 2.8 GHz for 3.4 mm thickness with a surface density (SD) of 3.38 kg/m2 are noticed for the PANI/F/CI composite sample. The maximum shielding efficiency (SE) of 30.12 dB at 11.0 GHz for 3.2 mm thickness is observed for the PANI/F/CI composite sample.
