Microwave absorbing and thermally conductive materials

Microwave absorbing and thermally conductive materials refer to a type of material that can absorb microwave energy projected onto its surface with minimal reflection, refraction, and scattering. At the same time, the material also has good thermal conductivity, which can quickly conduct and disperse heat, improving heat dissipation efficiency. Such materials usually have the advantages of relatively light weight, non friability, wide absorption band, good absorption performance, strong weather resistance, anti-aging, easy bending, easy processing and cutting, moisture resistance, pressure resistance, long-term use, non-toxic and environmental protection.

Composite and structure

Microwave absorbing and heat-conducting materials are usually composed of two parts: absorbing materials and heat-conducting materials. Absorbing materials have good electromagnetic wave absorption properties, and commonly used materials include absorbing coatings, absorbing wallpapers, absorbing sponges, etc. Thermal conductive materials have high thermal conductivity, and commonly used materials include metal thermal conductive materials (such as aluminum and copper), ceramic thermal conductive materials (such as aluminum oxide and silicon oxide), and polymer thermal conductive materials. In practical applications, these materials can adopt different structural designs, such as composite materials, coatings, absorbing layers, and conducting layers, to achieve dual effects of absorbing and conducting heat.

Working principle

1. Absorption principle: The unique electromagnetic loss mechanism inside the absorbing material causes the incident electromagnetic waves to attenuate inside the material, converting the energy of the electromagnetic waves into thermal energy and dissipating it through a thermal conduction system, thereby significantly reducing the reflection and transmission of electromagnetic waves and achieving high electromagnetic wave absorption and shielding.
2. Thermal conductivity principle: Based on the material properties of high thermal conductivity, microwave absorbing thermal conductive materials can quickly conduct the heat generated inside the equipment to external heat sinks or ambient air, achieving effective transfer and dissipation of heat and preventing equipment overheating caused by heat accumulation.
