Incombustible radio wave (RW) absorbers are developed by using inorganic carbon fiber-reinforced superlightweight polymer-modified mortars in place of conventional organic materials. The RW absorbers have a satisfactory RW absorbing performance for higher frequencies abve 30MHz. The RW absorbers can also be applied to microwave absorbers which are required to be more incombustible and to be able to absorb microwaves above 1GHz. The development of such materials makes it possible to design a highly fire-resistant anechoic chamber that has not been considered impossible to make until now.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
