Electromagnetic wave absorbing composition, and electromagnetic wave absorption body

1. An electromagnetic-wave absorber, comprising:

a rubber binder;

carbon black that is a filler made of a particulate carbon material; and

a magnetic iron oxide that magnetically resonates in a frequency band in or above a millimeter-wave band as an electromagnetic-wave absorbing material,

wherein when the magnetic iron oxide is 60 parts by volume or more and 110 parts by volume or less with respect to 100 parts by volume of the rubber binder, and

α represents parts by volume of the rubber binder, β represents parts by volume of the magnetic iron oxide, and γ represents parts by volume of the carbon black,

a value of (β+γ)/(α+β+γ)×100 is 43.0 or more and 52.0 or less, and

a value of γ/(α+β+γ)×100 is 1.2 or more and 2.0 or less, and

wherein the electromagnetic-wave absorber is a nonresonant-type electromagnetic-wave absorber that is not provided with an electromagnetic-wave reflective layer for reflecting incident electromagnetic waves,

an electric resistance of the electromagnetic-wave absorber is larger than 10 to the 10th power Ω, and

a transmission attenuation amount of electromagnetic waves passing through the electromagnetic-wave absorber is −8.5 dB or more.

2. The electromagnetic-wave absorber according to claim 1 , wherein the magnetic iron oxide is epsilon iron oxide or strontium ferrite.

3. The electromagnetic-wave absorber according to claim 2 , wherein part of a Fe site of the epsilon iron oxide is substituted with a trivalent metal atom.

4. The electromagnetic-wave absorber according to claim 1 , wherein the electromagnetic-wave absorber has a thickness of 400 μm or more in an incident direction of electromagnetic waves.

5. The electromagnetic-wave absorber according to claim 1 , wherein an adhesive layer is stacked on either of the surfaces of the electromagnetic-wave absorber.
