ABSTRACT:
A material having a matrix and a plurality of inclusions which are chiral is effective as a coating to reduce incident reflections and absorptions of microwave frequency electromagnetic energy. The matrix can use an electrically conductive polymeric material as the base as well as any other low loss dielectric material. Chiral inclusions may be in the form of helices or any other small object displaying handedness. Moreover, it is possible to use electrically conductive polymeric materials by themselves as absorbers of electromagnetic energy. There are a variety of uses for these materials and the unique properties including gaskets for controlling the emission of microwave energy from electronic enclosures.
