               prepare a segregated structure in PDMS/CNT composite. The EMI SE of the composite with 2.2 vol% of
               CNT was 47.0 dB. In contrast to the traditional segregated composite, the tensile strength and elongation at
               break of the obtained composite were 3.6 MPa and 87.0%, respectively, increasing by 35.0 and 7.0 times.
                                                                                        [69]
               After 1,000 stretching-releasing at a strain of 30%, the EMI SE retention was 80% . In another study,
               segregated SiO  particles were added to the PDMS/MWCNT composite to provide numerous interfaces and

               EP
               Silicon carbide nanoparticles were fabricated by carbothermal reduction, and were added into EP to form a
               composite. The RLmin and EAB of the composite at 4.25 mm with 20 wt% of SiC is -62.02 dB and 7.7 GHz.
               The composite at 4.50 mm had an EABmax of 8.1 GHz, shielding nearly the whole X-band and Ku-band.
               The interfacial enhanced the EMW absorption. Under microwave radiation, the shape memory recovery
               took 31 s, and the deformation efficiency and shape recovery rate rose by 125.81% and 17.84% compared
               with pure EP . A Fe O @SiO /MXene interlayer structure was fabricated by electrostatic self-assembly. The

               heterostructure achieved high impedance matching because of the combination of magnetic and dielectric

               structure and the heterointerface prolonged the EM transmission path and provided abundant interfaces
               and polarization sites; the composite with 10 wt% filler loading exhibited an RLmin of -57.77 dB and an

               felt skeletons. The CNT/AgBNs improved the interfacial bonding between EP and CF, and alleviated the
               phonon scattering at the interface. The TC of the composite was enhanced by 333% compared to EP. The
               composite had an EMI SE of 51.36 dB because of the multiple reflection and adsorption promoted by the

               A thermoplastic PU (TPU)/graphene composite foam was prepared by phase separation method. Due to the
               dipole polarization, conduction loss, interfacial polarization loss and multi-scattering, the foam at 3.1 mm
               with 3 wt% graphene had an RLmin of -51.86 dB and an EAB of 4.28 dB (12.6-17.0 GHz). Due to improved
