Graphene nanosheets/epoxy resin (GN/EP) composites with enhanced microwave absorption properties were prepared. The influence of GNs content on the electromagnetic and microwave-absorbing properties of single-layer GN/EP composites was investigated in the frequency range of 2–18[Formula: see text]GHz. A novel double-layer microwave absorber by combining absorbers with different contents of graphene was designed to achieve absorbers with wide absorption band and optimal microwave absorption. The calculated microwave absorption properties indicated that broader absorption band was obtained by the double-layer GN/EP composites. Reflection loss (RL) values below [Formula: see text]5[Formula: see text]dB can be obtained in the frequency range of 4.4–18[Formula: see text]GHz by the double-layer GN/EP composites at thickness of 3.9[Formula: see text]mm.

A single layer of BiFeO3 (BFO)/epoxy resin composite with thickness of 3 mm was fabricated by polymerized 70 wt% of sintered BFO as fillers and 30 wt% of epoxy resin polymer as matrix. The electromagnetic and the microwave absorption properties of BFO/epoxy resin composite were reported. The reflection loss (RL) of the same composite sample was measured by two different techniques of measurement, S11a parameter (without metal backed reflector) and S11b parameter (with metal backed reflector) in the range of 8-18 GHz using a network analyzer. Minimum RL (RLmin) from S11b parameter for BFO/epoxy resin composite with metal backed is lower than the RLmin from S11a composite without metal backed reflector. In details, the results showed BFO/epoxy resin composite with metal backed can achieve a strong absorption with RLmin of -40.5 dB over a 1.31 GHz bandwidth.

La 0.67 Sr 0.33 MnO 3 particles with different particle size have been prepared by sol-gel method. The structure, magnetization and microwave absorption properties have been investigated. The results show that the particle size can be controlled by sinter temperature. The peaks of the maximum reflection loss (RL) move to higher frequency regions with increasing particle size. The value of the maximum RL is -32 dB at 10.2GHz with a particle size of 58.5nm. The bandwidth with a RL exceeding -8dB reached 1.6GHz in the whole measured frequency range, suggesting that La 0.67 Sr 0.33 MnO 3 particles are promising for application as a wideband and strong absorption building microwave absorber.

In this paper, a novel microwave absorber of thin, light weight, flexible, green and low cost magnetic nanocomposite sheet that can work in high frequency range is fabricated. The vast and increasing numbers in electronic and telecommunication devices has create electromagnetic interference (EMI) in which may lead to application disturbance. Therefore, electromagnetic (EM) wave absorber with the ability of high absorption rate is strongly demanded. Here, durian shell (Durio zibethinus Murray) embedded magnetite (Fe3O4) nanocomposite sheets were prepared via pulping and lumen loading technique. The nanocomposite sheets were fabricated by varying the weight percentage of the filler content (2-10 wt% of Fe3O4) at constant thickness and varying the thickness of the sheets (0.1-1.0 mm) at constant filler content. FESEM micrograph shows that the Fe3O4 nanoparticles are in cubical and spherical shape with the 20–50 nm of size range. The microwave absorption properties of the sheets were tested by a vector network analyze (VNA) in the frequency range of 4-18 GHz. The samples were also tested using vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) in order to study the magnetic properties. The absorption or maximum reflection loss (RL) of the samples increases continually and the increase of both filler content and sample thickness has led to the shift of dip to lower frequency region.

Al/Fe/Co doped ordered mesoporous carbon (OMC) composites have been synthesized by a facile method, and the influence of dopant on the electromagnetic (EM) and microwave absorption properties was investigated in the frequency range of 2–18[Formula: see text]GHz. Compared with Fe/Co–OMC composites, the Al–OMC nanocomposite played a great role in adjusting values and frequency dependence of complex permittivity, which gives rise to significant improved microwave absorption and reduced thickness of the corresponding paraffin wax composites. Reflection loss (RL) values less than [Formula: see text]5[Formula: see text]dB and [Formula: see text]10[Formula: see text]dB were obtained in the frequency range of 9.2–18[Formula: see text]GHz and 10.7–14.7[Formula: see text]GHz with a single thickness of 2.00[Formula: see text]mm, respectively. Such enhanced EM wave absorption property of the Al–OMC/paraffin wax composite was ascribed to its superior impedance matching characteristic. Thin thickness, broadband absorption microwave absorbers with Al doped OMC nanocomposites were obtained.
