A technique to deposit thick, 500-nm, SiO2 shell to the surface of carbonyl iron (CI) particles was developed. The method consists of repeated deposition of SiO2 particles with air drying between iterations. This method allows to obtain thick dielectric shells up to 475 nm on individual CI particles. The paper shows that a thick SiO2 protective layer reduces the permittivity of the \u2018Fe-SiO2\u2014paraffin\u2019 composite in accordance with the Maxwell Garnett medium theory. The protective shell increases the thermal stability of iron, when heated in air, by shifting the transition temperature to the higher oxide. The particle size, the thickness of the SiO2 shells, and the elemental analysis of the samples were studied using a scanning electron microscope. A coaxial waveguide and the Nicholson\u2013Ross technique were used to measure microwave permeability and permittivity of the samples. A vibrating-sample magnetometer (VSM) was used to measure the magnetostatic data. A synchronous thermal analysis was applied to measure the thermal stability of the coated iron particles. The developed samples can be applied for electromagnetic compatibility problems, as well as the active material for various types of sensors.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s23031727","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,6]],"date-time":"2023-02-06T02:06:43Z","timestamp":1675649203000},"page":"1727","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Deposition of Thick SiO2 Coatings to Carbonyl Iron Microparticles for Thermal Stability and Microwave Performance"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Arthur V.","family":"Dolmatov","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Theoretical and Applied Electromagnetics RAS, Izhorskaya St. 13, 125412 Moscow, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1118-0070","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sergey S.","family":"Maklakov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Theoretical and Applied Electromagnetics RAS, Izhorskaya St. 13, 125412 Moscow, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5083-6058","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anastasia V.","family":"Artemova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Theoretical and Applied Electromagnetics RAS, Izhorskaya St. 13, 125412 Moscow, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dmitry A.","family":"Petrov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Theoretical and Applied Electromagnetics RAS, Izhorskaya St. 13, 125412 Moscow, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Artem O.","family":"Shiryaev","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Theoretical and Applied Electromagnetics RAS, Izhorskaya St. 13, 125412 Moscow, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Andrey N.","family":"Lagarkov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Theoretical and Applied Electromagnetics RAS, Izhorskaya St. 13, 125412 Moscow, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"400","DOI":"10.1016\/j.compscitech.2009.11.015","article-title":"X-Band microwave characterization of carbon-based nanocomposite material, absorption capability comparison and RAS design simulation","volume":"70","author":"Micheli","year":"2010","journal-title":"Compos.
