A novel transparent Co0.2Fe2.8O4@SiO2-polyetheretherketone hybrid material is prepared for electromagnetic interference shielding via in situ sol-gel process. 20% amino-functionalized polyetheretherketone (AFPEEK), containing trifluoromethyl units with excellent solubility is designed and synthesized to improve the stability and mechanical properties of Co0.2Fe2.8O4@SiO2 nanoparticles. The hydrophilic nanoparticles and hydrophobic polymer matrix are covalently connected after the effective interface modification with 3-isocyanatopropyltriethoxysilane. SEM and TEM images demonstrate that the strong interaction between inorganic-organic phases results in great improvement of dispersion and compatibility at even 40 wt% nanoparticles contents. The functional integration of organic polymer and inorganic nanoparticles leads to excellent comprehensive performances such as high transparency, thermal stability and mechanical properties of the hybrid material, as well as the high adhesion with substrate, which benefits its application as coating materials. This high performance material exhibits good superparamagnetic behaviour and microwave electromagnetic properties (RLmax ∼ -13 dB), which can be utilized as a promising electromagnetic interference shielding material.

Titanium disulfide quantum dots (TiSQDs) has garnered significant research interest due to its distinctive electronic and optical properties. However, the effectiveness of TiSQDs in electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding is influenced by various factors, including their size, morphology, monodispersity, tunable bandgap, Stokes shift and interfacial effects. In this study, we propose a systematic approach for the synthesis of TiSQDs with small size (3.

The advancement of underwater monitoring technologies has been significantly hampered by the limitations of traditional electrical sensors, particularly in the presence of electromagnetic interference and safety concerns in aquatic environments. Fiber optic sensors are therefore nowadays widely applied to underwater monitoring devices. However, silicon- and polymer-based optical fibers often face challenges, such as rigidity, susceptibility to environmental stress, and limited operational flexibility.

Waste polyethylene (WPE) and virgin polyethylene (VPE) (50:50) thermoplastic have been melt-mixed with biochar (BC) made from orange peels at ratios of 5, 10, and 15(Phr) to evaluate how the filler content affected the mechanical, thermal, optical, electrical conductivity, and electromagnetic interference (EMI). γ-rays was applied to the prepared specimens to assess how radiation affected the created biocomposites. From the obtained results, the combination of BC with γ-rays, at doses of up to 100 kGy, with thermoplastic resulted in an enhanced mechanical property, particularly for composites containing 15 Phr of BC added because of its unique structure and excellent dispersion.

Strong background interference signals from normal tissues have significantly compromised the sensitive fluorescence imaging of early disease tissues with exogenous probes in vivo, particularly for sensitive fluorescence imaging of early liver disease due to the liver's significant uptake and accumulation of exogenous nanoprobes, coupled with high tissue autofluorescence and deep tissue depth. As a proof-of-concept study, we herein report a near-infrared-II (NIR-II, 1.0-1.
