Abstract Flake carbonyl iron (FCI)/paraffin composites exhibit excellent electromagnetic loss characteristics and show great potential for broadband microwave absorption applications. In this study, FCI powder was incorporated into molten paraffin via a melt-blending and compression-molding process to fabricate FCI/paraffin composites. The synergistic regulation mechanisms of FCI loading content and flake size on the electromagnetic wave absorption properties of the composites were investigated. The results indicate that flake size significantly influences the absorption performance. The composite with medium-sized FCI (X-2, 11-14 μm) at a loading mass fraction of 40% achieves the best overall performance, exhibiting a minimum reflection loss of -48.75 dB and an effective absorption bandwidth of 7.47 GHz (10.26-17.73 GHz) at a matching thickness of 1.7 mm. The enhancement in the absorption performance of the FCI/paraffin composites is primarily attributed to the synergistic regulation of the electromagnetic loss mechanisms and impedance matching states by the FCI flake size and its loading content.
