China develops low-cost stealth coating material

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers in China have developed a new, low-cost microwave-absorbing material using expanded graphite and titanium dioxide, potentially making stealth technology more accessible. This composite, detailed in the Journal of Ceramics, offers strong electromagnetic wave attenuation with a simpler manufacturing process than traditional materials that rely on expensive components like graphene. The development could lead to more affordable mass production and broader applications beyond military use. AI

    Military stealth coating sold as cheap house paint? China might do it

    Radar-absorbing materials have long been associated with stealth fighters, cruise missiles and other high-end military platforms for which performance often comes at a high cost. But in China, some stealth coatings could be moving into large-scale industrial production and drivin…
