The development of lightweight and high-performance microwave absorbers is still a challenge in the field of electromagnetic absorption. Graphene foam with three-dimensional (3D) network structure and low bulk density has been considered as an ideal candidate for microwave absorption. In this work, nitrogen-doped reduced graphene oxide/nickel ferrite composite foams were prepared by the solvothermal and hydrothermal two-step method. The as-prepared composite foams had very low bulk density (7.8 ∼ 10.0 mg·cm) and a unique 3D porous network structure. Furthermore, results revealed that the microwave absorption performance of attained composite foams could be improved by adjusting the calcination temperature. Significantly, the obtained composite foam exhibited the best microwave absorption performance when calcined at 650.0 °C for 2.0 h. The minimum reflection loss was as large as -60.6 dB at an ultrathin matching thickness of only 1.55 mm, and the effective absorption bandwidth could reach 5.5 GHz with a thin thickness of 1.62 mm. In addition, the possible microwave attenuation mechanisms of attained composite foams were proposed. It was believed that our results could be helpful for developing graphene-based 3D magnetic composites as lightweight and high-performance microwave absorbers.

Umbu-caja and soursop from the Northeast region of Brazil are rich in nutrients and bioactive compounds and are widely processed by the fruit agroindustry. However, there is a lack of research examining the composition and nutritional/technological potential of these co-product fruits. The present study evaluated the nutritional and technological characteristics of umbu-caja and soursop co-product flours (UCF and SCF, respectively), in addition to cytotoxicity in healthy cells.

The main purpose of this study is to prepare a melamine aniline formaldehyde foam, an MAF copolymer, with lower water sensitivity and non-flammability properties obtained by the condensation reaction of melamine, aniline, and formaldehyde. In addition, the preparation of MAFF composites with organoclay reinforcement was determined as a secondary target in order to obtain better mechanical strength, heat, and sound insulation properties. For the synthesis of foams, the microwave irradiation technique, which offers advantages such as faster reactions, high yields and purities, and reduced curing times, was used together with the heating technique and the effect of organoclay content on the structural and textural properties of foams and both heat insulation and mechanical stability was investigated.

Geopolymer materials are increasingly being considered as an alternative to environmentally damaging concrete based on Portland cement. The presented work analyzed waste from mines and waste incineration plants as potential precursors for producing geopolymer materials that could be used to make lightweight foamed geopolymers for insulation applications. The chemical and phase composition, radioactivity properties, and leachability of selected precursors were analyzed.
