An electromagnetic wave (EM) absorber is constructed by integrally
laminating an EM-absorbing layer having an EM-absorbing filler dispersed
in a silicone resin on at least one surface of an EM-reflecting layer
having an electrically conductive filler dispersed in a silicone resin. It
has satisfactory EM-absorbing and shielding abilities and is workable,
flexible, weather resistant and heat resistant due to the nature of the
silicone resin itself. The use of the silicone resin in both the
EM-absorbing and reflecting layers ensures that a firm bond is established
between the layers. In a preferred embodiment wherein a heat conductive
filler is blended, the absorber has a satisfactory heat transfer ability
as well.
