Abstract

Scaled Effective Medium Theory (ScEMT) is applied to predict magnetic resonant and relaxation frequency in polymer-magnetic particle composites with favorable comparison to measured data. A single scaling function is identified that uses magnetic particulate resonant and relaxation frequencies, or magnetization and anisotropy field, volume fraction and DC susceptibility as predicted by ScEMT. Previous publications demonstrated that ScEMT improved the prediction of DC susceptibility as compared to classical models. Maxwell-Garnett (MGT) and Coherent Model Approximation (CMA) serve as theoretical baselines for comparison. However, both require separate scaling functions in their prediction of resonant and relaxation. Measured data are presented that suggest a single scaling function of ScEMT is sufficient to calculate both parameters. The paper emphasizes the application of the models and shows a wide range of particulate chemistries. ScEMT calculates susceptibility, resonant and relaxation frequency that agree with measurement. The paper concludes by predicting dispersive permeability that represents improvement over both CMA and MGT models. Future studies will address formulation of an EMT model (s) that describe mixtures of hard and soft magnetic materials mixed in a polymer composite. EMT for composite dielectric properties will be expanded to address the chaining. Early results of that effort will be reported in a separate paper.
