In this talk a method is described for preparing materials with a desired refraction coefficient. The method consists of embedding into a material with known refraction coefficient many small particles of size a. The number of particles per unit volume around any point is prescribed, the distance between neighboring particles is O(a{sup (2-kappa/3)}) as a->0, 0<kappa<1 is a fixed parameter. The total number of the embedded particle is O(a{sup (kappa-2/)}). The physical properties of the particles are described by the boundary impedance zeta{sub m} of the m--th particle, zeta{sub m} = O(a{sup -kappa}) as a->0. The refraction coefficient is the coefficient n{sup 2}(x) in the wave equation [nabla{sup 2}+kappa{sup 2}n{sup 2}(x)]u = 0.
