Nanomaterials for Electromagnetic Wave Shielding and Microwave Absorption

Dear Colleagues,

The vigorous development of modern technology has promoted the widespread use of electronic products, which has brought convenience to people's lives but has also caused serious electromagnetic pollution that has had an impact on human health and precision equipment. It is very important to develop high-performance electromagnetic protection materials. Electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding and microwave-absorbing materials play significant roles in the fields of electromagnetic compatibility. Conventional metal-based EMI protection materials are limited due to having a high density, low flexibility, and poor tuning ability related to EMI shielding/absorbing performance, and thus it is urgent to design more high-performance EMI protection materials. Nanomaterials involving carbon materials such as carbon nanotubes, graphene, carbon fiber, etc.; metal materials such as magnetic metals, magnetic metal oxides, and their alloys; semiconductor materials; and transition-metal carbon/nitride (MXene) have been widely explored in the field of EMI shielding and microwave absorption due to their excellent electromagnetic properties and large specific surfaces. Researchers have mainly designed the electromagnetic function macro-structure from two perspectives, such as component composition and structural design. The preparation of integrated materials concerning structure and function is fascinating. In addition, electromagnetic simulation is increasingly applied to effectively guide material design and mechanism exploration. For this reason, in this Special Issue, we invite contributions from leading groups in the field that take a balanced look at current developments in this discipline.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Nanomaterials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2900 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
