Abstract

This article focuses on the development and characterization of a woven composite metamaterial (WCM) composed of resin and AlCuFe quasicrystals, integrating broadband metamaterial absorber design with a three-dimensional four-way braided structure. The WCM exhibits enhanced mechanical properties, with a Young's modulus reaching up to 38 GPa in the z direction at 40% fiber content and a 30° weaving angle, and demonstrates strong optical absorption averaging 83.4% across the 3–12 μm spectral range due to internal electromagnetic coupling. The study highlights that both the mechanical and electromagnetic properties of the WCM are significantly influenced by fiber content and weaving angle, suggesting its potential as a lightweight optical material for applications in aerospace and electromagnetic countermeasures.
