Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
High-performance material research has facilitated the replacement of bulky, expensive, and poorly integrable traditional absorbers with compact integrated devices. Electromagnetic absorption over the microwave and terahertz regime has drawn increasing attention in many applications as in electromagnetic compatibility, radar cross-section reduction, energy harvesting, design of selective thermal emitters and biosensors, etc. Moreover, the advancement of military stealth technology results in large demand of microwave absorbing materials. High-performance materials, such as magnetic materials, carbon-based materials, flexible/stretchable materials, biomaterials, tunable materials, and metamaterials can be used to design near-perfect absorbers with subwavelength thickness and broadband absorption. Furthermore, the introduction of graphene into electromagnetic absorbers opens new challenges in absorber design and applications. Graphene is a suitable alternative for expensive metals used in modern absorbers, such as gold and silver, thanks to its reconfigurability and its higher wave absorption rate. Another approach for maximizing absorption is the combination of graphene and metallic metamaterials.
This Special Issue aims to present cutting-edge progress in the application of high-performance materials for microwave and terahertz absorption. The scope covers all aspects of theoretical and experimental research towards the development of highly efficient electromagnetic wave absorbing materials and devices.
It is our pleasure to invite you to submit review articles, regular research papers and short communications for this Special Issue: "Applications of High-Performance Materials for Microwave and Terahertz Absorption".

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. Materials 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 2600 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.
