Aramid fibers exhibit outstanding properties such as heat resistance, chemical resistance, dimensional stability, durability and elongation. However, their poor dispersibility poses a significant challenge when preparing composites. Consequently, converting aramid fibers into nanofibers is crucial to enhance their dispersibility. In this study, aramid nanofibers with excellent dispersibility were prepared by applying a supercritical fluid drying process. Technora based copolymer para-aramid nanofibers (CANF) were prepared by reacting in a DMSO/KOH basic solution within a short processing time (i.e., less than 3 h), and dried by a supercritical fluid process. We obtained uniformly dispersed CANF without the change in chemical composition. In addition, uniform translucent membrane sheets were prepared by vacuum filtration methods. Their tensile strength was obtained to be 23 MPa with high dimensional stability even at 100 °C without shrinkage, which can provide the possibility of CANF sheets as a separator for lithium-ion batteries.

This paper studies the problem of mean square exponential stability (ES) for a class of impulsive stochastic infinite-dimensional systems with Poisson jumps (ISIDSP) using aperiodically intermittent control (AIC). It provides a detailed analysis of impulsive disturbances, and the related inequalities are given for the two cases when the impulse perturbation occurs at the start time points of the control and rest intervals or non-startpoints, respectively. Additionally, in virtue of Yosida approximating systems, combining with the Lyapunov method, graph theory and the above inequalities, criteria for ES of the above impulsive stochastic infinite-dimensional systems are established under AIC for these two perturbation scenarios.

Analytical Chemistry Group, Department of Plant and Environmental Science, University of Copenhagen, Thorvaldsensvej 40, 1871 Frederiksberg C, Denmark.

This study explores the correlation of contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) in wastewater effluents using liquid chromatography (LC), supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC), and comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography (GC × GC) with derivatization, all coupled to high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS). Over 300 compounds, including frequently overlooked highly polar and nonpharmaceutical CECs, were identified. Monitoring programs mainly focus on reducing variability and assessing pollution in wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) effluents under dry weather conditions, often neglecting wet-weather discharges.

Stretchability and flexibility are essential characteristics for high-performance electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials in wearable and smart devices. However, achieving these mechanical properties while also maintaining high EMI shielding effectiveness (SE) for shielding materials remains a significant challenge. Here, a stretchable patterned carbon nanotube (CNT) array composite film, reinforced with two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials (TiCT and graphene), is fabricated using a straightforward scraping method.

In this work, a promising material of polyaniline (PANI) and two-dimensional molybdenum diselenides consisting of a PANI@2D-MoSe binary composite was prepared by an electrochemical polymerization ethod. The as-prepared PANI@2D-MoSe, the polymer covered in the sheet-like structure of 2D-MoSe surface morphologies, was observed through FE-SEM and HR-TEM studies. The SAED pattern of PANI@2D-MoSe was observed to be in an octahedral phase.

Borophene, a revolutionary two-dimensional (2D) material with exceptional electrical, physical, and chemical properties, holds great promise for high-performance, highly integrated information storage systems. However, its metallic nature and structural instability have significantly limited its practical applications. To address these challenges, hydrogenated borophene has emerged as an ideal alternative, offering enhanced stability and semiconducting properties.
