MÜREKKEP BALIĞI (SEPIA OFFICINALIS) İÇ KABUK VE GAGALARINDAN ELDE EDİLEN BİYOMALZEMELERİN DİELEKTRİK KARAKTERİZASYONU VE MİKRODALGA UYGULAMA POTANSİYELİ

Abstract

Bu çalışma, Türkiye'nin doğu Akdeniz sularında bol miktarda bulunan bir kafadanbacaklı türü olan mürekkep balığı Sepia officinalis'in kemiğinden ve gagasından elde edilen biyomalzemelerin dielektrik özelliklerini ve mikrodalga potansiyelini araştırmaktadır. Kemikler ve gagalar gibi yenilemeyen kısımlar toplandı, temizlendi, kurutuldu, toz haline getirildi ve 1-20 GHz aralığında açık uçlu koaksiyel prob yöntemi ile bir Keysight PNA-L Vektör Ağ Analizörü kullanılarak karakterize edildi. Mikrodalga alt tabaka olarak uygunluklarını değerlendirmek için karmaşık geçirgenliğin gerçek (ε′) ve sanal (ε″) bileşenleri çıkarıldı. Sonuçlar, mürekkep balığı kemiğinin mineral açısından zengin gözenekli yapısı nedeniyle gagadan belirgin şekilde daha yüksek dielektrik sabitleri (ε′) ve dielektrik kaybı (ε″) sergilediğini göstermektedir. Buna karşılık, esas olarak kitinden oluşan gaga daha kararlı ve düşük kayıplı bir davranış göstermektedir. Bu bulgular, biyolojik atıklardan elde edilen bu tür deniz biyomalzemelerinin, kontrollü emilim gerektiren radomlar (radome, anten koruması) ve düşük kayıplı stabilite gerektiren anten laminatları (anten kaplaması) da dahil olmak üzere mikrodalga mühendisliği için umut verici bir potansiyele sahip olduğunu vurgulamaktadır. Bu malzemelerin kullanımı, sürdürülebilirliği desteklerken sentetik substratlara olan bağımlılığı azaltabilir ve yüksek frekanslı uygulamalar için yeni bir doğal malzeme sınıfı sunabilir.

DIELECTRIC CHARACTERIZATION AND MICROWAVE APPLICATION POTENTIAL OF BIOMATERIALS OBTAINED FROM CUTTLEFISH (SEPIA OFFICINALIS) INNER SHELL AND BEAKS

Abstract

This study explores the dielectric properties and microwave potential of biomaterials obtained from the bone and beak of the cuttlefish Sepia officinalis, a cephalopod species abundant in the eastern Mediterranean waters of Turkey. Non-edible parts such as bones and beaks were collected, cleaned, dried, ground into powder, and characterized using a Keysight PNA-L Vector Network Analyzer with the open-ended coaxial probe method in the 1–20 GHz range. The real (ε′) and imaginary (ε″) components of complex permittivity were extracted to evaluate their suitability as microwave substrates. Results indicate that cuttlefish bone exhibits markedly higher dielectric constants (ε′) and dielectric loss (ε″) than beak due to its mineral-rich porous structure. Conversely, the beak, composed mainly of chitin, shows more stable and low loss behavior. These findings highlight that such marine biomaterials, obtained from biological waste, possess promising potential for microwave engineering, including radomes requiring controlled absorption and antenna laminates requiring low-loss stability. Their use can decrease reliance on synthetic substrates while supporting sustainability and introducing a new class of natural materials for high-frequency applications.
