Abstract

This paper is about sustainable Electromagnetic Metamaterials (EM-MM), which are a new class of artificial materials with unique electromagnetic properties that cannot be found in nature. These materials are made from discrete micro and nanoscale objects which resonate, allowing for precise control over how they interact with electromagnetic waves, and hence, leading to unheard of functionalities. Thus the need for sustainable synthesis methods for EM-MM has become paramount to mitigate the quantity of resources associated with conventional fabrication techniques. Renewable resources like biopolymers that mimic natural patterns are examples of the sustainable use of bio based synthetic material pathways. This may guarantee sustainability through fabricating additive manufacturing strategies, especially 3D printing innovation where fabric statement is controlled only as required, diminishing waste. With all this recycling and up cycling offer opportunities for development and cost reduction while reducing the natural impacts related to sustainability. There are several different domains have benefited from the application of EM MM, for example solar energy harvesting offer potential for sustainable power generation, imaging uses met material lenses which have superior resolution and sensitivity, while in telecommunications met material antennas ensure to transmit and get signals more successfully. But there are still a few issues that still need to be resolved in electromagnetic met materials. Future directions include the research of incorporating a plan of new types of electromagnetic composites with upgraded qualities and sustainable synthesis strategies. Applications of technology require to overcome practical challenges such as integration, toughness, and cost-effectiveness while assessing societal implications, financial, and social affects. For the sustainable advancement of metamaterials in order to deal with major societal concerns, minimizing their natural impressions requires collaboration and moral concerns.
