Data confidence 70 medium
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

Abstract NiZn ferrite (Ni3 + 0.25Ni2+0.375Zn2+0.25Fe2O4) is coated with polyaniline (PANI) using an in-situ polymerization technique. Three various weight ratios of PANI/Ni3 + 0.25Ni2+0.375Zn2+0.25Fe2O4 (1:1, 2:1, and 3:1) are synthesized. The absorbers are synthesized by introducing PANI/F nanocomposites within a paraffin wax of 25% w/w. X-ray diffractometry, FTIR spectroscopy, UV-vis spectroscopy, TGA analysis and SEM analysis are utilized in order to characterize the samples. 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. Minimal reflection loss of -19.8 dB at the matching frequency of 10.8 GHz and the absorption bandwidth under − 10 dB of 2.2 GHz for 3.12 mm thickness with a surface density of 3.07 kg/m2 are noticed for the PANI/F.2 nanocomposite sample. The maximum shielding efficiency of 23.18 dB at 11.1 GHz for 2.90 mm thickness is observed for the PANI/F.2 nanocomposite.
