With the miniaturization and high integration development in microelectronic devices, the problem of heat dissipation has attracted widespread attention. Highly thermal conductive and electrical insulation polymer composites show great advantages to solve the problems of heat dissipation. Nevertheless, the fabrication of polymer composites with both excellent thermal conductivity and electrical performance is still a great challenge. Herein, to coordinate the thermal and electrical properties of the composite film, the sandwich-structured poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/boron phosphide (BP)-boron nitride nanosheet (BNNS) composite films were prepared, with the PVA/BP composite film as the top and bottom layers and the BNNS layer as the middle layer. When the filler loading was 31.92 wt %, the sandwich-structured composite films showed excellent in-plane thermal conductivity (9.45 W·m·K), low dielectric constant (1.25 at 10 Hz), and excellent breakdown strength. In the composite film, the interconnected BP particles and BNNS layer formed several heat dissipation pathways to increase the thermal conductivity, while the insulated BNNS layer hampered the electron transformation to enhance the electrical resistivity of films. Therefore, the PVA/BP-BNNS composite films showed a potential application in heat dissipation of high power electronic devices.

Carbon fiber (CF) has been widely used in aerospace, military, infrastructure, sports, and leisure fields owing to its excellent mechanical properties, superior corrosion and friction resistances, excellent thermal stability, and lightweight. However, the ultrablack appearance derived from the extremely strong absorption of light throughout the entire visible region makes it difficult to satisfy the aesthetic and pleasurable demands of the colorful world and limits their applications in a broader field. Herein, inspired by the , a double-layer ultrathin AlO/TiO composite structure was fabricated on CFs by the atomic layer deposition method.

The various forms of anthropogenic pollution are regarded as a serious threat to marine coastal areas. The overproduction and mismanagement of petroleum derivatives, such as tar and plastics, have resulted in a significant correlation between these two pollutants. The aggregation of tar, microplastics (MPs), and natural materials can create plastitar blocks, which are common in coastal areas.

Metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) hydrogen sensors offer advantages, such as high sensitivity and fast response, but their challenges remain in achieving low-cost fabrication and stable operation at room temperature. This study investigates Nb-doped TiO (NTO) thin films prepared via a one-step micro-arc oxidation (MAO) with the addition of NbO nanoparticles into the electrolyte for room-temperature hydrogen sensing. The characterization results revealed that the incorporation of NbO altered the film's morphology and phase composition, increasing the Nb content and forming a homogeneous composite thin film.

This study investigates the enhancement of gelatin (GEL) films using hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) for edible film packaging applications. Although GEL is biocompatible and cost-effective, its limited mechanical strength presents significant challenges for practical applications. The findings indicate that CMC effectively increases tensile strength (TS), while HPMC improves elongation at break (EAB) and hydrophilicity.
