Abstract
Microwave communication technology is widely used in numerous applications, from telecommunications to medical devices. However, the excessive use of microwave devices has led to significant electromagnetic pollution, posing potential risks to both health and the environment. To address this issue, microwave-absorbing materials have emerged and are continuously evolving, offering solutions to mitigate electromagnetic interference. These materials are currently advancing towards multifunctionality, enabling them to serve a range of purposes, and expanding into various fields, including defense, healthcare, and consumer electronics. This review summarizes the multifunctionalization and interdisciplinary applications of microwave-absorbing materials, including their use in infrared stealth, high-temperature resistance, anti-icing, human body protection, and the interdisciplinary linkage of microwave-absorbing materials with anti-tumor, auxiliary chemical synthesis, and energy storage. Finally, we aim for our work to provide directions for exploring the applications of microwave-absorbing materials.
期刊介绍:
Advanced Composites and Hybrid Materials is a leading international journal that promotes interdisciplinary collaboration among materials scientists, engineers, chemists, biologists, and physicists working on composites, including nanocomposites. Our aim is to facilitate rapid scientific communication in this field.
The journal publishes high-quality research on various aspects of composite materials, including materials design, surface and interface science/engineering, manufacturing, structure control, property design, device fabrication, and other applications. We also welcome simulation and modeling studies that are relevant to composites. Additionally, papers focusing on the relationship between fillers and the matrix are of particular interest.
Our scope includes polymer, metal, and ceramic matrices, with a special emphasis on reviews and meta-analyses related to materials selection. We cover a wide range of topics, including transport properties, strategies for controlling interfaces and composition distribution, bottom-up assembly of nanocomposites, highly porous and high-density composites, electronic structure design, materials synergisms, and thermoelectric materials.
Advanced Composites and Hybrid Materials follows a rigorous single-blind peer-review process to ensure the quality and integrity of the published work.
