The NANO4WAVES project has demonstrated the potential of a clever organization of nanoscale inclusions in polymer matrices or inks, e.g., carbon nanotubes, graphene, metallic nanoparticles, for controlling the electromagnetic propagation at wavelengths ranging from micrometers up to tenths of centimeters, with a particular focus on broadband absorption. This paper illustrates the versatility of our approach, encompassing the synthesis of various nano-objects, their dispersion and organization at the macroscopic level, and their state-of-the-art characterization for the realization of efficient novel microwave absorbers.
