Predicting effective permittivity of composites containing conductive inclusions at microwave frequencies

We predict the effective dielectric properties at microwave frequencies of composites containing various volume loadings of high conductivity (stainless steel or iron) spheres or flakes by adapting the semi-empirical method developed by McLachlan. Rather than the typical approach of fixing A (A = 1...
