International audienceDielectric analysis of tannin-based carbon foams with different pore sizes, produced at different densities, was carried out in wide microwave frequency range (8GHz - 35GHz). Both dielectric permittivity and electrical conductivity of carbon foams at 8GHz, were high, i.e. more than 70 and close to 10 S/m respectively, and increased with carbon foams density according to power laws. High microwave complex dielectric permittivity values of carbon foams reported here, along with other valuable properties such as ``green'' origin, low price, lightness, chemical inertness, thermal stability and high conductivity in static regime, open new routes for producing effective electromagnetic shields and filters from tannin-based carbonaceous porous structures
