Learning to Imbalanced Open Set Generalize: A Meta-Learning Framework for Enhanced Mechanical Diagnosis.

To alleviate data distribution under different operating conditions, domain generalization (DG) has been applied in mechanical diagnosis. Still, its effectiveness is limited when unknown fault states appear in the target domain. Consequently, open set DG (OSDG) has emerged to identify unknown classes in unknown domains.

A comparative study on electromagnetic interference shielding behaviors of chemically reduced and thermally reduced graphene aerogels.

Electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding performance of chemically and thermally reduced graphene aerogels (GAs) was systematically studied. The EMI shielding mechanisms were extensively analyzed in terms of the distinct surface characteristics resulted from the different reduction methods for the first time. EMI shielding effectiveness (SE) of chemically and thermally reduced GAs reached 27.

Phthalonitrile-Based Carbon Foam with High Specific Mechanical Strength and Superior Electromagnetic Interference Shielding Performance.

Electromagnetic interference (EMI) performance materials are urgently needed to relieve the increasing stress over electromagnetic pollution problems arising from the growing demand for electronic and electrical devices. In this work, a novel ultralight (0.15 g/cm(3)) carbon foam was prepared by direct carbonization of phthalonitrile (PN)-based polymer foam aiming to simultaneously achieve high EMI shielding effectiveness (SE) and deliver effective weight reduction without detrimental reduction of the mechanical properties.

Mussel-inspired polydopamine coated hollow carbon microspheres, a novel versatile filler for fabrication of high performance syntactic foams.

Syntactic foams, which can be synthesized by mechanical mixing of hollow microspheres with a matrix material, are a special class of lightweight composite materials. Developing of high-performance syntactic foams remains challenges. In this work, a facile and environmentally friendly surface modification method employing polydopamine (PDA) as a surface treatment agent for hollow carbon microspheres (HCMs) was used, aiming to extend the application of syntactic foams to seldom touched areas.
