Unlike older reviews that focused strictly on metals, this paper covers all major categories of high-entropy materials (HEMs), including alloys, ceramics, and polymers.
It explains the four core effects that define HEM behavior: high configurational entropy, lattice distortion, sluggish diffusion, and the "cocktail effect". Alternative Recent Reviews High Entropy Materials: Processing, Properties,...
The authors systematically correlate material structure with mechanical, thermal, and functional properties, specifically highlighting electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding and radiation resistance. Unlike older reviews that focused strictly on metals,
