Low matching thickness, broad effective absorption bandwidth (EAB, RL < -10 dB) and excellent reflection loss (RL) are desirable properties for the advanced microwave absorption materials (MAMs). We synthesized novel interpenetrating structured rod-like nickel cobaltite (NiCoO)/helical carbon nanotubes (HCNT) composites using the facile hydrothermal technique and heat-treatment process. Owing to the optimum structural design and electromagnetic parameter regulation, the NiCoO/HCNT composites displayed outstanding microwave absorption (MA) across regions of low thickness. When the thickness was only 1.35 mm, the optimized RL and EAB reached -55.9 dB and 4.8 GHz (13.2-18.0 GHz), respectively. Furthermore, the EAB was 10 GHz as the corresponding thickness was regulated with 1.35-2.10 mm, covering both X and the Ku bands. Multiple reflection and scattering, natural resonance, eddy current loss, strong conduction loss, interface polarization, cross-poalarization, and dipolar polarization can be considered to improve MA. Our study proposes a simple approach of synthesizing low-thickness MAMs based on NiCoO and HCNT.

In order to investigate the mechanism of mechanical performance enhancement and the curing mechanisms of acrylate emulsion (AE) in cement and magnesium slag (MS) composite-stabilized soil (AE-C-M), this study has conducted a comprehensive analysis of the compressive strength and microstructural characteristics of AE-C-M stabilized soil. The results show that the addition of AE significantly improves the compressive strength of the stabilized soil. When the AE content is 0.

A new twofold interpenetrated 3D metal-organic framework (MOF), namely, poly[[μ-aqua-diaqua{μ-2,2'-[terephthaloylbis(azanediyl)]diacetato}barium(II)] dihydrate], {[Ba(CHNO)(HO)]·2HO}, (I), has been assembled through a combination of the reaction of 2,2'-[terephthaloylbis(azanediyl)]diacetic acid (TPBA, HL) with barium hydroxide and crystallization at low temperature. In the crystal structure of (I), the nine-coordinated Ba ions are bridged by two μ-aqua ligands and two carboxylate μ-O atoms to form a 1D loop-like Ba-O chain, which, together with the other two coordinated water molecules and μ-carboxylate groups, produces a rod-like secondary building unit (SBU). The resultant 1D polynuclear SBUs are further extended into a 3D MOF via the terephthalamide moiety of the ligand as a spacer.

Conductive hydrogels have great potential for applications in flexible wearable sensors due to the combination of biocompatibility, mechanical flexibility and electrical conductivity. However, constructing conductive hydrogels with high toughness, low hysteresis and skin-like modulus simultaneously remains challenging. In the present study, we prepared a tough and conductive polyacrylamide/pullulan/ammonium sulfate hydrogel with a semi-interpenetrating network.

Background: The Special Issue articles describe six systems of parental interventions and developmental care several differences among each of the approaches. Nevertheless, on a deeper level there are profound similarities shared across the six systems. These similarities are at the heart of developmental care in general and parental interventions in particular.

Cage-based MOFs, with their customizable chemical environments and precisely controllable nanospaces, show great potential for the selective adsorption of guest molecules with specific structures. In this work, we have constructed a novel cage-based MOF [(CH)NH][(UO)(TMTTA)]·11.5DMF·2HO (IHEP-51), utilizing a triazine derivative poly(carboxylic acid), 4,4',4″-(((1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triyl)tris(((4-carboxycyclohexyl)methyl)azanediyl))tris(methylene))tribenzoic acid (HTMTTA), as an organic ligand and uranyl as a metal node.
