MnFe2O4 nanoparticles have been synthesized on a large scale by a simple hydrothermal process in a wild condition, and the RGO/MnFe2O4 nanocomposites were also prepared under ultrasonic treatment based on the synthesized nanoparticles. The absorption properties of MnFe2O4/wax, RGO/MnFe2O4/wax and the RGO/MnFe2O4/PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) composites were studied; the results indicated that the RGO/MnFe2O4/PVDF composites show the most excellent wave absorption properties. The minimum reflection loss of RGO/MnFe2O4/PVDF composites with filler content of 5 wt % can reach -29.0 dB at 9.2 GHz, and the bandwidth of frequency less than -10 dB is from 8.00 to 12.88 GHz. The wave absorbing mechanism can be attributed to the dielectric loss, magnetic loss and the synergetic effect between RGO+MnFe2O4, RGO+PVDF and MnFe2O4+PVDF.

Type 1 diabetic (T1D) patients are life-long dependent on insulin therapy to keep their blood glucose levels under control. An alternative cell-based therapy for exogenous insulin injections is clinical islet transplantation (CIT). Currently the widespread application of CIT is limited, due to risks associated with the life-long use of immunosuppressive drugs to prevent rejection of donor cells.

Oil production entails the generation of large volumes of complex effluents that contain emulsified oil in water. Difficult to manage, the use of membrane separation processes (MSP) is an interesting option for the treatment of oily effluents, separating oil-in-water (o/w) emulsions with high efficiency. Modifying the surface of membranes with metals minimizes fouling, which is the main drawback of MSP.

Solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) can replace the diaphragm and electrolyte in the traditional battery to solve safety perils such as electrolyte leakage and combustion, while their practical application is greatly hindered by their low ionic conductivity and poor ability to inhibit lithium dendrites. Herein, a laponite (LAP)/zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) hybrid material modified polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)-based composite polymer electrolytes (CPE) is reported. The in-situ modification of ZIF-8 induced by electrostatic interactions between LAP layers not only improves the dispersion of LAP, but also acts as an external bridge through hydrogen bonding with PVDF to construct a stable conductive network.
