Microwave Absorbing Materials

With the rocketing development of electromagnetic wave communication devices and stealth technology, electromagnetic wave–absorbing materials have attracted much attention as antielectromagnetic interference slabs, stealth materials, self-concealing technology, and microwave darkrooms.

The book starts with the fundamental theory of electromagnetic wave absorption in loss medium space, followed by a discussion of different microwave absorbents, such as manganese dioxide, Fe-based composite powder, conductive polyaniline, barium titanate powder, and MnN. On the basis of the fundamental theory and the discussion of microwave absorbents, structural absorbing materials are then explored, including multilayer structural absorbing materials, new discrete absorbers, microwave absorption coatings, cement-based absorbing materials, and structural pyramid materials. Many graphical pictures demonstrate not only the principles of physics and experimental results but also the methodology of computing.
