Plasma-Driven Conversion of 2D Graphene into 3D Pouch for Improved Electromagnetic Absorption Performance.

Graphene-based materials are ideal for electromagnetic wave-absorbing materials (EAMs) due to their strong electrical and dielectric losses with reduced thickness and weight. To enhance the electromagnetic wave absorption performance of these materials, additional components are often incorporated. However, this approach not only increases the complexity of the synthesis process but also complicates and destabilizes the control of the material properties.

Synthesis and protection: a controllable electrochemical approach to polypyrrole-coated copper azide with superior safety for MEMS.

Traditional lead-based primary explosives present challenges in application to micro-energetics-on-a-chip. It is highly desired but still remains challenging to design a primary explosive for the development of powerful yet safe energetic films. Copper-based azides (Cu(N) or CuN, CA) are expected to be ideal alternatives owing to their properties such as excellent device compatibility, excellent detonation performance, and low environmental pollution.

Valence-Oriented Electrosynthesis Strategies of Cu-Based 5-Nitrotetrazolate for Environmentally Acceptable Primary Explosives.

The development of green primary explosives has become a "holy grail" of energetic materials research. Cu-based 5-nitrotetrazolate is considered one of the most promising candidates due to its excellent blasting power and environmentally benign nature. However, synthesizing Cu-based 5-nitrotetrazolate controllably and securely remains highly challenging.

Mesenchymal Stem Cell-derived Exosomes Affect Macrophage Phenotype: A Cell-free Strategy for the Treatment of Skeletal Muscle Disorders.

The process of tissue damage, repair, and regeneration in the skeletal muscle system involves complex inflammatory processes. Factors released in the inflammatory microenvironment can affect the phenotypic changes of macrophages, thereby changing the inflammatory process, making macrophages an important target for tissue repair treatment. Mesenchymal stem cells exert anti-inflammatory effects by regulating immune cells.

D-Dimer Level Predicts Angiographic No-Reflow Phenomenon After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Within 2-7 Days of Symptom Onset in Patients with ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction.

It remains uncertain whether plasma D-dimer level can predict no-reflow in patients with STEMI who had pPCI after 48 h of symptom onset. This study retrospectively enrolled 229 consecutive patients who had pPCI for acute STEMI within 2-7 days of symptom onset between January 2008 and December 2018. Patients were divided into no-reflow group (TIMI flow grade 0-2) and reflow group (TIMI flow grade 3).
