Flexible and lightweight polypyrrole nanotubes/ethylene propylene diene monomer (PPyNT/EPDM) rubber foams with excellent electromagnetic waves (EMW) absorption performance in the X‐band were prepared via a simple chemical foaming method. By adjusting the content of PPyNT, the cellular structure, den...
