Lightweight electromagnetic absorbers made of polymers and multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) have attracted a lot of attention because of their potential to shield next-generation electronics devices from electromagnetic radiation without reflecting it back into space. In this research, a flexible foam composed of MWCNTs and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) is developed. This foam is designed to be an electromagnetic shielding material that is both flexible and absorption-dominant, reducing electromagnetic interference.

In the present study hybrid microwave sintered BZT are studied for dielectric, ferroelectric and phase transition properties. BZT ceramic exhibits tetragonal structure as confirmed by the Retvield refinement studies.
