Summary:ABSTRACT Multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) reinforced composites for electromagnetic (EM) absorption are reviewed. Here, four types of nanostructured radar absorbing materials (RAMs) were discussed including MWCNTs polymer composites, magnetic nanostructures decorated MWCNTs polymer composites, nonmagnetic nanostructures decorated MWCNTs polymer composites, and honeycomb‐coated MWCNTs as RAMs. Challenges hindering the practical applications of such composites have been discussed. It has also been highlighted that MWCNTs decorated with magnetic and dielectric nanostructures are effective for broadband lightweight absorbing materials.
