ABSTRACT
Accepted: 2 August 2020
Advanced metamaterials are designed upon the combination of (1) carbon nanotube (CNT) foam, which is obtained from chemical vapor deposition by fully consuming the initial nickel foam, and (2) nanosilver/silicone resin or graphene (Gr) foam. The CNT foam/nanosilver/silicone composite simultaneously exhibits a negative permittivity and permeability in the frequency range from 1 MHz to 1 GHz provided that the appropriate CNT foam amount is considered (20 m%). Double-negative performance in a similar frequency range is obtained with both 3/1 and 1/1 (mass basis) Gr/CNT-based composites. On the other hand, 3/2 (mass basis) Gr/CNT exhibits a negative permeability in the shared frequency range from 6 9 102 MHz to 1 GHz with still negative permittivity in the full range. The Gr amount allows to control the frequency behavior, with a variation in absolute permittivity and permeability values and a switch between a concave and convex behavior. Hence, the work contributes to the further expanding of the application range of metamaterials.

GRAPHIC ABSTRACT
Introduction Metamaterials that have both negative permittivity and permeability are promising materials that have properties beyond the ordinary materials in nature. In the early development of metamaterials, researchers devoted themselves to the construction of regular array structures such as nanoresonant rings and metal rod arrays to achieve negative permittivity and/or a permeability [1–5]. After many years, several researchers broke the traditional concept that the double-negative performance can only be realized through artificially designed repetitive structural units. By adjusting the structure and content of the material itself, a metamaterial results by mean
