SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the feasibility of using graphite sheets as a substitute for carbon-loaded Teflon in millimeter wave dosimeters. Participants suggest that semi-conductive materials, such as graphite sheets, could effectively absorb electromagnetic radiation. Additionally, Teledeltos Paper, with a resistance of 800 Ohms per square, is proposed as a potential alternative, especially when layered. The conversation emphasizes the importance of sourcing appropriate materials for successful experimental replication.
