Novel, carbonized bacterial cellulose (CBC)/Fe3O4 nanocomposites were synthesized using vacuum filtration and annealing (VFA) methods. The as-synthesized products were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, vibrating sample magnetometry, and transmission electron microscopy. The complex permittivity and permeability of Fe3O4-CBC (5 wt.% CBC)/paraffin wax composites were measured by vector network analysis. To study the microwave absorption (MA) performances, we compared the VFA products with the vacuum filtration (VF) products. The VFA products exhibited better absorption performances because of their larger dielectric loss. When the matching thickness was 2.4 mm, the calculated reflection loss reached a minimum value of -27 dB when VFA was used and a value of -11 dB when VF was used. The wide-range MA properties of these materials lead to potential applications in MA fields.

The integration, miniaturization, and high frequency of microwave vacuum electronics put forward higher requirements for heat-conducting and wave-absorbing integrated materials. However, these materials must balance the dispersion and isolation of wave-absorbing components to optimize absorption while maintaining the continuity of thermal conductivity pathways with low defect rates and minimal interfaces. This presents a significant challenge in achieving both high thermal conductivity and efficient wave absorption simultaneously.

This study introduces a sustainable approach for enhancing the fire retardancy and smoke suppression of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) composites, contributing to addressing one of the major challenges in biocomposites that limits their application in various engineering fields, as automotive and construction sectors. Flax fibers (FF) were surface functionalized with a novel organic-inorganic hybrid flame retardant (FR), offering a sustainable bioinspired approach that mitigates potential mechanical properties impairment and FR leaching, which can cause environmental concerns and reduced composite durability. The process involves a three-step coating procedure.
