This paper summarizes the current situation of the development of wave鄄absorbing materials. And the
novel wave鄄absorbing materials are laid a strong emphasis, which requires light, thin, broad鄄band and strong materi鄄
als, such as nano鄄materials and the left鄄handed materials. Moreover, the developing trend on novel wave鄄absorbing
materials is prospected. Further more, some suggestions have been provided for the development of the novel wave鄄ab鄄
sorbing materials in the future.
