Abstract

The linear electromagnetic response of polymer composite with nanocarbon inclusions was modeled for a random multi-component system with particles and clusters of different shape and size. The results of the generalized effective medium Maxwell-Garnett theory below the percolation threshold demonstrate good coincidence with the experimental data for onion-like carbon-based polyurethane composites collected in a quasi-static regime (at 129 Hz) in a broad temperature range.
