Abstract
Results are presented of the comprehensive experimental investigation of the dielectric properties of composites filled with conducting fibers results. The results apply to the percolation threshold values and microwave dielectric dispersion of these materials. The fiber-filled composites exhibit a great variety of dielectric dispersion behavior, and offer wide possibilities of tailoring their dielectric dispersion. The experimental data are in good agreement with the recent theoretical approach [see A. N. Lagarkov and A. K. Sarychev, Phys. Rev. B 53, 6318 (1996)] as regards the values of percolation threshold and the shape of dielectric dispersion dependences. This agreement is a validation of the original assumption that the permittivity of effective medium is a scale dependent function in fiber-filled composites.
