Traditional microwaves absorption materials (MAMs) are applied in the form of coatings, generally inflexible, with high production costs and poor adaptability to applications in different locations. The diversification of application scenarios requires materials with multifunctionalities, but it is extremely challenging to integrate multifunctionalities within single material at present. Herein, a multifunctional CoNC@GN/PCL/TPU MAMs is synthesized. The CoNC@GN nano‐micro absorber has high‐efficiency microwave absorption ability. The electromagnetic microwave absorption performance is ultra‐light (4 wt.%), ultra‐thin (2.3 mm), and broadband (6.21 GHz), which is better than similar MAMs. Additionally, the samples have highly efficient electro‐thermal conversion properties, enabling controlled electrical heating performance and excellent self‐healing properties. More remarkably, the sample has an electrically driven shape memory effect that allows the material to target the absorption of multi‐angle incident electromagnetic waves. Therefore, CoNC@GN/PCL/TPU absorbers are the key to truly opening up opportunities for flexible, shape memory, and multifunctional absorbers in frontier applications such as wearables, deformable robots, and chip protection.

Realizing ultra-wideband absorption, desirable attenuation capability at high temperature and mechanical requirements for real-life applications remains a great challenge for microwave absorbing materials. Herein, we have constructed a porous carbon fiber/polymethacrylimide (CP) structure for acquiring promising microwave absorption performance and withstanding both elevated temperature and high strength in a low density. Given the ability of porous structure to induce desirable impedance matching and multiple reflection, the absorption bandwidth of CP composite can reach ultra-wideband absorption of 14 GHz at room temperature and even cover the whole X-band at 473 K. Additionally, the presence of imide ring group in polymethacrylimide and hard bubble wall endows the composite with excellent heat and compressive behaviors. Besides, the lightweight of the CP composite with a density of only 110 mg cm−3 coupled with high compressive strength of 1.05 MPa even at 453 K also satisfies the requirements in engineering applications. Compared with soft and compressible aerogel materials, we envision that the rigid porous foam absorbing material is particularly suitable for environmental extremes.
