Synthesis of Composite Materials with Conductive Aligned Cylindrical Inclusions

"Composite materials are largely studied due to their mechanical and electrical performances. The characterization of a composite material usually goes toward the development of an equivalent homogeneous model. This study is based on the Maxwell Garnett homogenization theories, and it is focused on synthesizing a composite material starting from the equivalent dielectric permittivity of a homogeneous material. The approach considers a composite made by an host material with constant permittivity and aligned conductive cylindrical inclusions. The proposed approach can be feasible for synthesizing carbon fiber based materials, and achieving a desired shielding effectiveness. The proposed procedure is validated through numerical simulations of three synthesized composite materials."
