Abstract
This paper specifies a concise review of recent research and development in the context of electromagnetic
absorbers. An attempt has been made to justify the need for economical and thin microwave absorbers for achieving
good absorption characteristics over a wide range of frequencies within a specified band of electromagnetic
spectrum. This paper mainly focuses on the challenges encountered while designing a perfect electromagnetic
absorber which can absorb electromagnetic radiations of any polarization that may appear from any direction and
may occur over a broader bandwidth. The absorbers which are competent enough to withstand all these challenges
are capable to suppress the reflection and transmission of unknown electromagnetic radiations efficiently to the
lowest possible level. Several prospects of nanotechnology in flexible absorber design are also described to enhance
absorber characteristics. This paper also provides a futuristic glimpse on several applications of such absorbers for
commercial and military purposes.
