In this paper, optimum design, numerical simulation and full-wave analysis of two broad-band metamaterial absorbers have been presented in the infrared, visible light, and ultraviolet frequencies of the sunlight spectrum. These planar absorbers consist of two conductive layers and an intermediate insulating layer. The simulations results obtained by the finite integration technique have shown that performance of the designed absorbers is independent of the incident wave polarization and its elevation and azimuth angles. The proposed absorbers have an absorption of more than 92% in the visible light range. Therefore, these absorbers can be used to harvest the energy of sunlight

As a natural and environmentally friendly fiber, sheep wool has an extraordinary place among all textile fibers due to its unique properties such as high thermal insulation properties, good sound insulation and absorption, self-extinguishing, high flame resistance, low weight and high strength. Sheep wool fibers are traditionally used in clothing and textiles, but they can be used in various applications. One of the vital industrial applications of sheep wool fibers is to employ them as reinforcing fillers in polymer composites using thermal insulation and sound and acoustic absorbers. This review paper aims to introduce sheep wool fiber and present it as a high-performance fiber (HPF) in the role of a natural and low-cost alternative to synthetic polymer fibers. In this regard, an attempt has been made to conduct a comprehensive review of polymer-sheep wool composites as thermal insulation and sound absorber.
