Abstract

The work aims to discuss the latest research progress of structural absorbing materials such as multi-layer structures, sandwich structures and metamaterials and provide optimization ideas by analyzing the performance advantages and characteristics of different structures. By focusing on structural absorbing materials, the research progress of structural absorbing materials, such as multi-layer structures, sandwich structures and metamaterials in China and abroad was reviewed and their electromagnetic wave absorption mechanisms, design and construction strategies, as well as the performance regulation mechanisms were elaborated. Further, the structural absorbing materials were expected to be used in broad spectrum design, intelligent control and multifunctional applications. Structural absorbing materials have high design freedom, and can realize excellent wave-absorbing and load-bearing properties through the design and tailoring of components and microstructures, which provides a new technical solution and material support for traditional absorbing materials, and is of great value for the application in the equipment of ships and airplanes.
