Microwave absorbing materials

With the phenomenal development of electromagnetic wave communication devices and stealth technology, electromagnetic wave absorbing materials have been attracting attention as antielectromagnetic interference slabs, stealth materials, self-concealing technology, and microwave darkrooms. This book starts with the fundamental theory of electromagnetic wave absorption in loss medium space, followed by a discussion of different microwave absorbents, such as manganese dioxide, iron-based composite powder, conductive polyaniline, barium titanate powder, and manganese nitride. Then, structural absorbing materials are explored, including multilayer materials, new discrete absorbers, microwave absorption coatings, cement-based materials, and structural pyramid materials. Many of the graphics demonstrate not only the principles of physics and experimental results but also the methodology of computing. The book will be useful for graduate students of materials science and engineering, physics, chemistry, and electrical and electronic engineering; researchers in the fields of electromagnetic functional materials and nanoscience; and engineers in the fields of electromagnetic compatibility and stealth design. 1-15 1 Half Title 1 Title Page 3 Copyright Page 4 Contents 5 Preface 13 16 15 17 16 18 17 19 18 20 19 21 20 22 21 23 22 24 23 25 24 26 25 27 26 28 27 29 28 30 29 31 30 32 31 33 32 34 33 35 34 36 35 37 36 38 37 39 38 40 39 41 40 42 41 43 42 44 43 45 44 46 45 47 46 48 47 49 48 50 49 51 50 52 51 53 52 54 53 55 54 56 55 57 56 58 57 59 58 60 59 61 60 62 61 63 62 64 63 65 64 66 65 67 66 68 67 69 68 70 69 71 70 72 71 73 72 74 73 75 74 76 75 77 76 78 77 79 78 80 79 81 80 82 81 83 82 84 83 85 84 86 85 87 86 88 87 89 88 90 89 91 90 92 91 93 92 94 93 95 94 96 95 97 96 98 97 99 98 100 99 101 100 102 101 103 102 104 103 105 104 106 105 107 106 108 107 109 108 110 109 111 110 112 111 113 112 114 113 115 114 116 115 117 116 118 117 119 118 120 119 121 120 122 121 123 122 124 123 125 124 126 125 127 126 128 127 129 128 130 129 131 130 132 131 133 132 134 133 135 134 136 135 137 136 138 137 139 138 140 139 141 140 142 141 143 142 144 143 145 144 146 145 147 146 148 147 149 148 150 149 151 150 152 151 153 152 154 153 155 154 156 155 157 156 158 157 159 158 160 159 161 160 162 161 163 162 164 163 165 164 166 165 167 166 168 167 169 168 170 169 171 170 172 171 173 172 174 173 175 174 176 175 177 176 178 177 179 178 180 179 181 180 182 181 183 182 184 183 185 184 186 185 187 186 188 187 189 188 190 189 191 190 192 191 193 192 194 193 195 194 196 195 197 196 198 197 199 198 200 199 201 200 202 201 203 202 204 203 205 204 206 205 207 206 208 207 209 208 210 209 211 210 212 211 213 212 214 213 215 214 216 215 217 216 218 217 219 218 220 219 221 220 222 221 223 222 224 223 225 224 226 225 227 226 228 227 229 228 230 229 231 230 232 231 233 232 234 233 235 234 236 235 237 236 238 237 239 238 240 239 241 240 242 241 243 242 244 243 245 244 246 245 247 246 248 247 249 248 250 249 251 250 252 251 253 252 254 253 255 254 256 255 257 256 258 257 259 258 260 259 261 260 262 261 263 262 264 263 265 264 266 265 267 266 268 267 269 268 270 269 271 270 272 271 273 272 274 273 275 274 276 275 277 276 278 277 279 278 280 279 281 280 282 281 283 282 284 283 285 284 286 285 287 286 288 287 289 288 290 289 291 290 292 291 293 292 294 293 295 294 296 295 297 296 298 297 299 298 300 299 301 300 302 301 303 302 304 303 305 304 306 305 307 306 308 307 309 308 310 309 311 310 312 311 313 312 314 313 315 314 316 315 317 316 318 317 319 318 320 319 321 320 322 321 323 322 324 323 325 324 326 325 327 326 328 327 329 328 330 329 331 330 332 331 333 332 334 333 335 334 336 335 337 336 338 337 339 338 340 339 341 340 342 341 343 342 344 343 345 344 346 345 347 346 348 347 349 348 350 349 351 350 352 351 353 352 354 353 355 354 356 355 357 356 358 357 359 358 360 359 361 360 362 361 363 362 364 363 365 364 366 365 367 366 368 367 369 368 370 369 371 370 372 371 373 372 374 373 375 374 376 375 377 376 378 377 379 378 380 379 381 380 382 381 383 382 384 383 385 384 386 385 387 386 388 387 389 388 390 389 391 390 392 391 393 392 394 393 395 394 396 395 397 396 398 397 399 398 400 399 401 400 402 401 Heritage means different things to different people. This book provides a guide to Singapore heritage and its preservation and promotion since 1959, when Singapore first attained full self-government and thereafter for the first 50 years of Independence. It conveys the thoughts of policy-makers, conservationists, architects, city planners, museum curators, historians, academics and community advocates a diversity that attests to the wide range of ways in which heritage has an impact on the lives of Singaporeans. As heritage has no end point, the book concludes with a reflection on the future of heritage whence it came, where it goes. Kennie Ting. Includes Bibliographical References And Index. In English.
