Editorial for special issue on electromagnetic wave absorbing materials

With the rapid development of information technology and electronics industry,stealth warplanes,radar stealth,electronic countermeasures,microwave communications,and other equipment have played an increasingly important role in military defense.Therefore,the design and development of new electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorbing materials with high performance and environmental applicability that can be widely used in the microwave field has become a key issue and a major strategic challenge that needs to be urgently addressed in the modernization and upgrading of major advanced military equipment.However,how to effectively address the growing electromagnetic pollution has been an important issue that has plagued researchers in the field of EMW absorption for many years.
