The development of modern society is bringing increasing problems of electromagnetic radiation and pollution. Microwave absorbing materials (MAM) are widely used in electromagnetic interference
electromagnetic compatibility
information security and human body protection applications. High absorption
broad absorption bandwidth and lightweight are the requirements of high performance MAM. Because of their advantages of softness
cohesiveness and easy to tailor into certain shape
rubber based MAM can be used as the absorbing layer of devices with complex structures or inner surfaces of cavities. This paper introduced the basic principles of designing MAM
reviewed the characteristics of different kinds of rubber MAM
discussed the effect of absorbent
structure design
external factors on the microwave absorbing properties
