Journal of Advanced Ceramics releases Special Issue on Frontiers in Advanced Ceramic Materials for Microwave Absorption

Volume 14, Issue 12 of Journal of Advanced Ceramics (ISSN 2226-4108) features a dedicated special issue focusing on Frontiers in Advanced Ceramic Materials for Microwave Absorption. This cutting-edge special issue includes 19 open-access articles, consisting of an editorial, two comprehensive reviews and sixteen innovative research articles, showcasing the latest breakthroughs, mechanisms and engineering applications of ceramic-based microwave absorption materials from global researchers.

With the rapid advancement of information technology, electromagnetic radiation has become deeply integrated into nearly every aspect of modern life, from personal communication and industrial manufacturing to aerospace and national defense infrastructures. As the electromagnetic environment has become increasingly complex and congested, electromagnetic waves have not only brought unprecedented convenience but also introduced serious challenges, including electromagnetic interference, radiation pollution, and information insecurity. Consequently, the rational design and development of microwave absorption materials (MAMs) are critically important for protecting human health, mitigating electromagnetic pollution, and strengthening information security in the information age.
