Resin compacts including iron-based magnetic powders were prepared using a centrifugal molding technique. Energy dispersive x-ray analyses demonstrated the formation of a concentration gradient of the magnetic powder in the resin compacts. The resultant concentration-graded resin compacts exhibited better broadband electromagnetic wave absorption than the homogeneous resin compacts prepared as a reference. This absorption ability was further enhanced by attaching a urethane foam plate to the absorber surface.
