Energy storage and modern electronics industries are in essential need of high dielectric and highly flexible materials. In this study, polyacrylonitrile and reduced graphene oxide (PAN/GO) were prepared by electrospinning. The composite morphology produced a homogeneous, smooth, and flexible surface with high tensile strength and durability. The diameter of the fibers in the composite mats ranged from 232 to 592 nm. The X-ray diffraction pattern recording displayed a sharp peak characteristic centered between 20 and 30° angles with a maximum degree of crystallinity of 86.23%. The evaluation of the Fourier-transform infrared spectrum indicated the interaction between GO and PAN through hydrogen bonds. The differential scanning calorimetry measurements confirmed that GO acted as a nucleating agent that improves the thermal stability of the composite. The dielectric properties exhibited the relative permittivity of the composite of 86.4 with a dielectric loss (tan δ) of 4.97 at 10 Hz, and the maximum conductivity was achieved at 34.9 × 10 Sm at high frequencies.

In this paper, the dielectric behaviour of coconut oil within the frequency range 100 kHz to 30 MHz between temperature 30 °C-50 °C has been observed. The measured values of the dielectric constant and dielectric loss show notable variation with frequency and temperature for pure coconut oil. It is noticed that the dielectric constant (՛) and dielectric loss (՛՛) of coconut oil decreases with increasing temperature.

However, in conventional all-dielectric one-dimensional photonic crystal (1DPC) heterostructures, TISs strongly depend on incident angle, which limits their practical applications. Here, we realize an angle-independent TIS in 1DPC heterostructures containing hyperbolic metamaterials (HMMs) for transverse magnetic polarized waves.

Traditional SMAs display unstable tensile properties resulting from inconsistencies between the constrained conductive layer and the flexible dielectric layer. This study introduces an organohydrogel-based stretchable microwave absorber (OSMA) that incorporates an organohydrogel within an island-bridge structure.

The NASICON-type NaV(PO) (NVP) is recognized as a potential cathode material for Na-ion batteries (SIBs). Nevertheless, its inherent small electronic conductivity induces limited cycling stability and rate performance. Carbon coating, particularly N-doped carbon, has been identified as an effective strategy to address these challenges.

As an effective method to enhance the dielectric performance of polyolefin materials, polar side group modification has been extensively applied in the insulation and energy storage materials of electrical and electronic systems. In this work, two side groups with different topological structures were adopted, namely, vinyl acetate (VAc, aliphatic chain) and -vinyl-pyrrolidone (NVP, saturated ring), to modify polypropylene (PP) chemical grafting, and the effects of structural topology of the polar side group on the microscopic and macroscopic characteristics of PP, particularly on its electrical anti-breakdown ability, were investigated. Experimental results showed that the side group structural topology directly affected the crystallization and thermal properties of PP.
