Recent progress of nanomaterials for microwave absorption

Microwave absorbing materials have received considerable interest over the years for their applications in stealth, communications, and information processing technologies. These materials often require functionalization at the nanoscale so to achieve desirable dielectric and magnetic properties which induce interaction with incident electromagnetic radiation. This article presents a comprehensive review on the recent research progress of nanomaterials for microwave absorption, including the basic mechanism of microwave absorption (e.g., dielectric loss, magnetic loss, dielectric/magnetic loss coupling), measurement principle (e.g., fundamentals of analysis, performance evaluation, common interaction pathways:…
