APPLICATION OF CARBON NANOTUBES IN POLYMER COMPOSITES FOR ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVE ABSORPTION

As a new electromagnetic absorbing agent,carbon nanotubes have attracted great attention due to the unique physical and chemical properties.This paper summarized microwave absorbing mechanisms of CNTs and characterization methods of the absorption properties.The applications of CNTs in the polymeric electromagnetic wave absorbing composite material were mainly introduced,such as CNTs/resin composites,CNTs/conducting polymer and CNTs/rubber composites.Finally,the future development of electromagnetic wave absorbing material was discussed.
