In this paper, the mathematical analysis of a single-walled carbon nanotube composite material (SWCNT-composite) is presented in order to estimate its effective conductivity model and other important parameters. This composite material consists of SWCNT coated by other different materials. The effects of the radius of SWCNT and average thickness of coating layer on this effective conductivity model are investigated. The effects of using different types of coating materials with different radii of SWCNTs on the behavior of this composite material are also presented. An investigation of electromagnetic properties of SWCNT-composite material was carried out based on designing and implementing the dipole antenna configuration using a common electromagnetic engineering tool solver CST (MWS). The results obtained from comparisons between SWCNT and SWCNT-composite materials are presented, based on their electromagnetic properties.
