Porous materials are promising for use in the terahertz range, when they have valuable properties: low weight, chemical inertia, thermal stability, and relatively low cost. These materials are required for effective shielding of electromagnetic radiation, attenuators, filters. Electromagnetic characteristics in the frequency range of 0.15 – 0.5 THz are considered. Samples are porous composite materials filled with carbonyl iron, waste from semiconductor production, and carbon nanostructures. Foamed polyurethane and foam glass material is used as a dielectric binder. The combination of high electromagnetic efficiency and the "green" origin of the constituent composites opens the way for successful practical use.
