Abstract: Microwave absorbing property of SiC reticulated porous ceramics(RPCs) was investigated in the present work.
The microwave absorbing efficiency of SiC RPCs was found to increase remarkably, compared with that of SiC materials without reticulated porous
structure. This is contributed mainly to the complex electromagnetic reflecting, scattering, and interference effects within the reticulated
structure. Effects of pore size, relative density and sample thickness on the microwave absorbing property of SiC RPCs were discussed. This work
will develop a novel approach for the design and manufacture of structural microwave absorbing materials with high performance and low cost.

Key words: silicon carbide, reticulated ceramics, porous ceramics, microwave absorption
