Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Flourishing development of the ever-increasing number of telecommunication, electronic, detection and radar devices has resulted in electromagnetic (EM) or microwave interference being some serious omnipresent issue, including data loss and misinterpretation, system failure, defense stealth technology and even damaging human health. Emerged and gradually flourish as the times demanded, researchers were strongly encouraged to develop microwave absorption materials in this context, which can drastically reduce EM interference and the radar echo of the detected target. Selecting suitable components and microstructure are known to have significant effects on the microwave attenuation properties. The component regulation and structure engineering have played and will undoubtedly continue to play critical roles in the future developments of EM pollution protection technologies.
The aim of this Special Issue is to collect state-of-the-art works component regulation and structure engineering of advanced materials and composites for a wide range of electromagnetic protection applications or other smart applications.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but not limited to) the following:
- Carbon-based (Carbon nanotubes, Graphene, Carbon fiber, et al.) microwave absorption materials;
- Metal-based (Fe/Co/Ni, Ferrite, MOFs, Sendust et al.) microwave absorption materials;
- Ceramic-based (SiC, ZrC, TiC, Ceramic composite, High entropy ceramics et al.) microwave absorption materials;
- New materials for EM wave absorbing materials;
- Developing new methods for design strategies for microwave absorption materials;
- Porous and lightweight microwave absorption materials;
- Nano/micro-structure materials for microwave absorption;
- Microwave absorption materials derived from metamaterials and 3D structure designing;
- Description of new concepts in the preparation and characterization of microwave absorption materials;
- Description of electromagnetic attenuation mechanism for new microwave absorption materials;
- Intelligent/Smart microwave absorption materials with multiple functions.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Molecules 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 2700 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.
