Low-loss, high-permittivity composites made from graphene nanoribbons.

A new composite material was prepared by incorporation of graphene nanoribbons into a dielectric host matrix. The composite possesses remarkably low loss at reasonably high permittivity values. By varying the content of the conductive filler, one can tune the loss and permittivity to desirable values over a wide range. The obtained data exemplifies how nanoscopic changes in the structure of conductive filler can affect macroscopic properties of composite material.
