Abstract

The results of studies of the electrophysical and thermophysical characteristics of borosilicate glass designed to attenuate electromagnetic radiation in the microwave range are presented. The compositions of glass with the minimal tendency to crystallization are determined. The effect of the chemical composition of glass on its thermophysical (temperature coefficient of linear expansion (TCLE) and heat capacity) and electrophysical (attenuation index, standing wave ratio, and dielectric loss tangent) properties is found. The proposed glass compositions can be recommended for the manufacturing of products used as shielding against radiation.
