XRD analysis results showed that Mg_2Ni and Mg phases were detected in the XRD pattern of the Mg_（23）Ni_（10） alloy, however, the La addition results in conversion from Mg to LaMg_3 and La_2Mg_（17） phases and appearance of crystal defects included dislocations, twin grain boundary and vacancy in the Mg_（22）LaNi_（10） and Mg_（21）La_2Ni_（10） alloy textures. The total maximum hydrogen absorption capacity was 4.45 wt% for the Mg_（23）Ni_（10） alloy, however, the Mg_（22）LaNi_（10） and Mg_（21）La_2Ni_（10） alloys with vacancy, dislocations and twin grain boundary, absorbed 3.66 wt% and 3.60 wt%, respectively, indicating that the La addition led to decreasing of the maximum hydrogen absorption capacity. Besides, hydrogen absorption/desorption of 90% of saturated state expended for about 456 and 990 s for pristine Mg_（23）Ni_（10） alloy, by contrast, the time decreased owing to improvement of hydrogen absorption and desorption kinetics in the alloy with La element, with which the uptake time for hydrogen content to 90% of saturated state was 150 and 78 s, and 90% hydrogen can be released in 930 and 804 s for Mg_（22）LaNi_（10） and Mg_（21）La_2Ni_（10） alloys in the experimental condition.展开更多

文摘Induction melting was used as a routine method to synthesize Mg_（23）Ni_（10）, Mg_（22）LaNi_（10） and Mg_（21）La_2Ni_（10） alloys, and followed by a detailed microstructural characterization which included X-ray diffraction（XRD）, scanning electron microscopy（SEM） with energy dispersive spectrometer（EDS）, high resolution transmission electron microscope（HRTEM） and hydrogen absorption/desorption measurements. XRD analysis results showed that Mg_2Ni and Mg phases were detected in the XRD pattern of the Mg_（23）Ni_（10） alloy, however, the La addition results in conversion from Mg to LaMg_3 and La_2Mg_（17） phases and appearance of crystal defects included dislocations, twin grain boundary and vacancy in the Mg_（22）LaNi_（10） and Mg_（21）La_2Ni_（10） alloy textures. The total maximum hydrogen absorption capacity was 4.45 wt% for the Mg_（23）Ni_（10） alloy, however, the Mg_（22）LaNi_（10） and Mg_（21）La_2Ni_（10） alloys with vacancy, dislocations and twin grain boundary, absorbed 3.66 wt% and 3.60 wt%, respectively, indicating that the La addition led to decreasing of the maximum hydrogen absorption capacity. Besides, hydrogen absorption/desorption of 90% of saturated state expended for about 456 and 990 s for pristine Mg_（23）Ni_（10） alloy, by contrast, the time decreased owing to improvement of hydrogen absorption and desorption kinetics in the alloy with La element, with which the uptake time for hydrogen content to 90% of saturated state was 150 and 78 s, and 90% hydrogen can be released in 930 and 804 s for Mg_（22）LaNi_（10） and Mg_（21）La_2Ni_（10） alloys in the experimental condition.

文摘Deep eutectic solvents(DESs)have gained significant attention as potential absorbents for CO_(2)capture due to their tunable physicochemical properties and environmental sustainability.However,achieving a balance of thermal stability,absorption/desorption performance,and viscosity remains a critical challenge for industrial applications.To address this,a novel aqueous polyamine-based DES system was developed using an ionic liquid with high stability-PzCl(piperazine chloride,P),as a hydrogen bond acceptor(HBA);a polyamine with multiple active sites,DETA(diethylenetriamine,D),as a hydrogen bond donor(HBD),and H_(2)O as co-solvent.By systematically optimizing the molar ratio of PzCl to DETA,[PzCl][DETA](PD)with a 1:5 molar ratio was identified as the optimal one based on the absorption capacity/rate,thermal stability,post-absorption viscosity,and desorption efficiency of its aqueous solution.Further investigation into the water content revealed that 30 wt%[PzCl][DETA](1:5)effectively balanced the CO_(2)absorption capacity(0.168 g-CO_(2)/g-absorbent)and desorption efficiency(54%),more outstanding than those of 30 wt%MEA(0.126 g-CO_(2)/g-absorbent and 47%,respectively),and provided acceptable post-absorption viscosity(8.11 mPa⋅s),which was slightly higher than that of 30 wt%MEA(3.77 mPa⋅s)but lower than 10 mPa⋅s.These findings provide a scalable framework for designing sustainable absorbents that harmonize high performance with operational viability.This work bridges the gap between laboratory-scale innovations and industrial implementation in carbon capture technologies.

文摘In this paper,it was addressed a hydrogen absorbing and desorbing thermodynamics inα+βtype TC21 titanium alloy with high strength and toughness based on thermodynamic experiments and calculation.The relationship between concentration(C),temperature(T),and pressure(P)of TC21 alloy is shown by P-C-T curves during hydrogen absorption and desorption process,which were measured by multistep hydrogenation/dehydrogenation methods from 625 to 750℃.The P-C-T isotherms at a given temperature were separated into three regions.The partial thermodynamic functions of hydrogen reaction were evaluated by a modified form of Sievert’s law and P-CoTrelation of different regions was expressed by the modified Sievert’s law.The results show that the enthalpy of hydrogen reaction in the first and third region relies on hydrogen content.According to Vant’s Hoff law,enthalpy and entropy of hydrogenation platform in TC21 alloys are-53.58 kJ·mol^(-1)and-127.41 J·K·mol^(-1),respectively.Compared with P-C-T curves of hydrogen absorption,that of hydrogen desorption exists hysteresis.

文摘Chitosan(CS),a natural polymer derived from chitin found in the exoskeletons of crustaceans,has garnered significant interest in the pharmaceutical field due to its unique properties,including biocompatibility and biodegradability.In recent years,various studies have reported that CS can affect drug bioavailability,and interestingly,it works as an oral absorption enhancer and inhibitor.This review offers an in-depth analysis of the mechanisms underlying such a phenomenon and supports its application as a pharmaceutical excipient.CS enhances oral drug absorption through various mechanisms,such as interaction with the intestinal mucosa,tight junction modulation,inhibition of efflux transporters,enzyme inhibition,solubility and stability enhancement,and complexation.On the other side,CS exhibits the ability to inhibit the absorption of certain drugs by adsorbing to lipids and sterols,modulating bile acids and gut microbiota,altering drug-cell interaction at the polar interface,and mucus-mediated entrapment and interference.Future potential pharmaceutical research in this field includes elucidating the underneath absorption relevant mechanisms,rational use in formulations as excipient,exploring functional CS derivatives,and developing CS-based drug delivery systems.This comprehensive review highlights CS's versatile and significant role in enhancing and inhibiting oral drug absorption,providing insights into the complexities of drug delivery and the potential of CS to improve therapeutic outcomes.
文摘Using the pulp of Annona squamosa L.as the raw material,polysaccharides were extracted using ultrasonicassisted hot water extraction,with polysaccharide yield as the response variable.The effects of four factors on extraction efficiency were investigated,and the extraction process was optimized using an orthogonal experimental design.The monosaccharide composition of the polysaccharides was analyzed using ion chromatography(IC).The antioxidant activity was evaluated through DPPH radical scavenging,hydroxyl radical(·OH)scavenging,and ferric reducing antioxidant power(FRAP)assays.Additionally,Franz diffusion cells were used to conduct in vitro transdermal absorption experiments,measuring cumulative permeation and calculating permeation kinetics parameters.The results showed that under optimized extraction conditions,the polysaccharide yield was 50.57%±0.02%.Ion chromatography analysis revealed that the main monosaccharide components were arabinose(0.6%),glucose(40.5%),and fructose(58.9%).Antioxidant evaluation indicated that with the addition of 80μL of the extract,the DPPH radical scavenging rate reached 94.13%±0.81%;with 600μL,the hydroxyl radical scavenging rate was 93.33%±0.92%,and the FRAP value was(38.07±1.30)mmol/L.Transdermal absorption experiments demonstrated that the skin retention rates of the polysaccharide aqueous extract at 75%and 100%concentrations were 4.65%±1.52%and 12.37%±2.14%,respectively,with 12 h cumulative permeation rates of 57.43%±1.08%and 74.24%±0.74%.Kinetic analysis of transdermal absorption showed that the process followed zero-order kinetics,indicating a constant release rate under steady-state conditions,consistent with Fick’s diffusion law.This study systematically combined optimization of polysaccharide aqueous extraction,monosaccharide composition analysis,antioxidant activity evaluation,and transdermal permeation performance analysis.It revealed the bioactive properties and potential applications of Annona squamosa L.polysaccharides,particularly in the fields of antioxidant activity and transdermal permeation.The findings provide essential data to support the development of functional products based on Annona squamosa L.polysaccharides.

文摘We present a solid 226 nm deep ultraviolet laser system pumped by a Nd:YAG laser.A diamond Raman laser with a 1485 nm wavelength was generated up to 2.53 mJ pumped by a 9.7 mJ 1064 nm laser,which is the highest pulse energy of a second Stokes diamond Raman laser pumped by a 1064 nm laser as we know.Then,the Raman laser is mixed with the frequency-quadrupled 1064 nm laser to produce the 226 nm laser.The maximum output pulse energy at 226 nm reaches 0.49 mJ.The overall conversion efficiency from1064 to 226 nm is up to 1.14%,which is significantly higher than conventional optical parametric oscillator technology for the generation of 226 nm laser.The 226 nm laser system has been used in a laser-induced fluorescence(LIF)experiment of oxygen two-photon to demonstrate its potential for LIF measurements.

文摘UHMWPE(Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene)plain-weave fabric,characterized by its lightweight and high-strength properties,is widely used in protective equipment such as bulletproof vests and stab-resistant vests,serving as a key material for enhancing protective performance.This study systematically investigates the influence mechanism of interfacial properties on the energy absorption characteristics of UHMWPE-based protective structures through multi-scale experiments and numerical simulations,and establishes a cross-scale design methodology.Innovatively,an orthotropic constitutive model incorporating dynamic friction coefficients is constructed,combined with a modified Johnson-Cook failure criterion,to achieve high-precision simulation of the entire ballistic impact process(error<3.5%).Additionally,a friction field prediction model considering strain rate effects is developed,and the friction evolution laws of UHMWPE and Para-aramid(Kevlar)fabrics under strain rates of 10^(−3) and 10^(−4) s^(−1) are obtained through MTS pull-out tests.The results show that:(1)there exists a critical yarn-yarn friction coefficient(μ=0.2);exceeding this value leads to a 19%reduction in energy absorption capacity,while viscous interfaces increase the energy dissipation peak by 16%;(2)UHMWPE shows kinetically-dominated absorption(58%)with high rate but high load,increasing damage risk.Para-aramid has friction-dominated absorption(53%)with a lower rate but stable load.Hybrid fabrics use potential-dominated absorption(49%)at a moderate rate,balancing stability and protection.(3)3–5 layers of UHMWPE fabric yield optimal cost-effectiveness,with the unit cost reduction rate of the HS+5U scheme reaching 2.74 m/(s·$),which is 91%higher than that of the hybrid scheme.(4)For HS+5U(5-ply UHMWPE),V50 is 520 m/s,meeting primary protection requirement.For hybrid solutions with U/K≥3(e.g.,HS+6U+2K),V50 reaches 580 m/s(≥540 m/s),satisfying advanced protection requirement.This research provides critical references for the design of flexible protective structures and their engineering applications.

文摘The electromagnetic wave absorption of silicon carbide nanowires is improved by their uniform and diverse cross-structures.This study introduces a sustainable and high value-added method for synthesizing silicon carbide nanowires using lignite and waste silicon powder as raw materials through carbothermal reduction.The staggered structure of nanowires promotes the creation of interfacial polarization,impedance matching,and multiple loss mechanisms,leading to enhanced electromagnetic absorption performance.The silicon carbide nanowires demonstrate outstanding electromagnetic absorption capabilities with the minimum reflection loss of-48.09 d B at10.08 GHz and an effective absorption bandwidth(the reflection loss less than-10 d B)ranging from 8.54 to 16.68 GHz with a thickness of 2.17 mm.This research presents an innovative approach for utilizing solid waste in an environmentally friendly manner to produce broadband silicon carbide composite absorbers.

文摘Sandwich structures are widely favored for their lightweight,high strength and superior impact mitigation capabilities in blast mitigation and transportation safety applications.Their application in large-scale,high-energy rockfall protection remains limited due to their relatively low volumetric energy absorption efficiency and the complex fabrication processes of key energy-absorbing components.To address these limitations,this study proposes a novel sandwich structure incorporating mild steel tubes as core energy absorbers to efficiently mitigate highenergy rockfall impacts.A finite element model was developed in LS-DYNA to systematically investigate the deformation and energy absorption behaviors.Comprehensive parametric analyses were conducted to quantify the effects of key design variables,including tube wall thickness,tube spacing(number of tubes),and infill materials.The results demonstrate that increasing tube wall thickness significantly enhances ultimate energy absorption,with 12-mm-thick tubes absorbing 2.2 times more energy than 6-mm-thick tubes.Lateral constraints induced by adjacent tubes improve specific energy absorption per unit displacement by approximately 30%-45%.Furthermore,incorporating infill materials considerably enhances energy absorption,with aluminum foam infills achieving an 81%increase compared to empty tubes.Nevertheless,higher energy absorption capacity typically leads to greater peak impact forces,increasing the number of tubes offers a better balance between energy absorption and impact force,optimizing the structural performance.These findings provide valuable theoretical insights and practical guidelines for designing sandwich structures in civil and infrastructure engineering applications for effective rockfall protection.

文摘Cadmium(Cd)contamination in soils poses substantial environmental and health risks globally,with manganese(Mn)playing a crucial role in regulating Cd mobility through soil adsorption processes and shared crop uptake pathways.While the importance of understanding Cd-Mn dynamics in soils is widely recognized,quantitative assessments of their correlated desorption processes remain limited.This study employed diffusive gradients in thin-films(DGT)technique combined with DGT-induced fluxes in soils(DIFS)modeling to investigate Cd and Mn availability and desorption dynamics in karst soils from Guangxi,southwestern China.The soil solution concentrations ranged from 0.23–1.82μg/L for Cd and 1.29–8.41 mg/L for Mn.DGT measurements demonstrated nonlinear accumulation patterns for both metals over 48 h duration.DIFS modeling yielded distribution coefficients(Kdl)ranging from 2.50 to 807 mL/g and response time(Tc)between 1.27 and 425 s for both metals.Solid phase resupply was limited by desorption rates of 5.38–229×10^(−5)/s,providing unprecedented insight into the kinetics of metal release in these soils.Analysis of metal desorption rate ratios(k−1-Mn/k−1-Cd)indicated that soil organic matter content,clay content,pH,and metal contents collectively control Cd and Mn desorption kinetics,leading to distinct desorption patterns across soils with varying physicochemical properties.These findings demonstrate rapid equilibrium reestablishment and desorption-limited resupply characteristics of Cd and Mn in karst soils,advancing understanding of correlative metal behaviors in these unique geological settings.

文摘Low-velocity impact tests are carried out to explore the energy absorption characteristics of bio-inspired lattices,mimicking the architecture of the marine sponge organism Euplectella aspergillum.These sea sponge-inspired lattice structures feature a square-grid 2D lattice with double diagonal bracings and are additively manufactured via digital light processing(DLP).The collapse strength and energy absorption capacity of sea sponge lattice structures are evaluated under various impact conditions and are compared to those of their constituent square-grid and double diagonal lattices.This study demonstrates that sea sponge lattices can achieve an 11-fold increase in energy absorption compared to the square-grid lattice,due to the stabilizing effect of the double diagonal bracings prompting the structure to collapse layer-bylayer under impact.By adjusting the thickness ratio in the sea sponge lattice,up to 76.7%increment in energy absorption is attained.It is also shown that sea-sponge lattices outperform well-established energy-absorbing materials of equal weight,such as hexagonal honeycombs,confirming their significant potential for impact mitigation.Additionally,this research highlights the enhancements in energy absorption achieved by adding a small amount(0.015 phr)of Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes(MWCNTs)to the photocurable resin,thus unlocking new possibilities for the design of innovative lightweight structures with multifunctional attributes.

文摘Three-dimensional(3D)-printedgraphene aerogels hold promise for electromagneticwave absorption(EWA)engineering due to itsultralow density,outstanding electromagnetic dissipationwith the flexibility and precision of manufacturingstrategies.However,their high conductivitycauses severe impedance mismatch,limiting EWAperformance.3D printing requirements also constrainthe dielectric properties of printable grapheneinks,hindering the integration of high-performanceabsorbers with advanced manufacturing.This studyproposes a polyacrylic acid(PAA)gel-mediated3D porous graphene oxide(GO)aerogel multiscaleregulation strategy.Precise gel content control enablesdual-gradient tuning of the rheology(Benefitingdirect ink writing(DIW))and dielectric loss(Enhancing EWA)of GO/PAA composites and reduces aerogel density(6.9 mg cm^(-3)from28.2 mg cm^(-3)).Thermal reduction decomposes PAA into amorphous carbon nanoparticles anchored on reduced graphene oxide(rGO),enhancingimpedance matching and absorption via synergistic 0D/2D interfacial polarization and conductive loss.The optimized rGO/PAA aerogelachieves a minimum reflection loss(RL)of-39.86 dB at 2.5 mm and an effective absorption bandwidth(EAB)of 8.36 GHz(9.64-18 GHz)at3.2 mm.Combining DIW and this aerogel,we design a metamaterial absorber(MA)with dual material(dielectric loss)and structural gradients.This MA exhibits an ultrawide EAB of 14 GHz(4-18 GHz)with a total thickness of 7.8 mm.This work establishes a coupled design paradigmof“composition-structure-performance,”providing an engineerable solution for developing lightweight,broadband EWA materials.

文摘The development of multifunctional electromagnetic wave-absorbing materials is essential for next-generation flexible electronics and intelligent protection systems.Herein,a novel three-dimensional porous MXene-based film integrated with metallic nickel nanoparticles(Ni-PMF)is designed and synthesized with the potential to address the urgent need for multifunctional electromagnetic wave-absorbing materials in next-generation intelligent systems.By using polystyrene spheres as sacrificial templates,a hierarchical porous architecture is constructed to prevent MXene nanosheet restacking,extend electromagnetic wave propagation paths,and optimize impedance matching.Simultaneously,uniformly distributed Ni nanoparticles introduce abundant heterogeneous interfaces,enhancing interfacial polarization and magnetic loss,which significantly improve electromagnetic wave attenuation.The Ni-PMF film achieves a minimum reflection loss of–64.7 d B and a broad effective absorption bandwidth of 7.2 GHz,covering the full Ku-band and outperforming most reported MXene thin film absorbers.In addition to superior electromagnetic wave absorption,the film demonstrates excellent electrothermal conversion and flexible strain-sensing capabilities,enabling integrated protection and real-time sensing functions.This multifunctional material offers promising potential for next-generation smart flexible electronic systems.

文摘Ferrite-carbon composites effectively absorb electromagnetic(EM)waves via coupled mechanisms.However,the dynamic evolution of intrinsic polarization and magnetic loss mechanisms following interfacial coupling has long been overlooked,impeding broadening of the ultra-broadband EM wave absorption performance in heterostructures.Herein,via surface ligand modulation,in situ growth of 0D Fe_(3)O_(4)quantum dots(QDs)on the surface of 1D carbon nanotubes triggers grain boundary coupling.The energy rebalancing effect at the interface induces an extreme charge rearrangement within the Fe_(3)O_(4)QDs.This rearrangement enhances dipole orientation hysteresis and charge accumulation,resulting in charge and interfacial polarization losses.Meanwhile,for subcritical Fe_(3)O_(4)QDs,short-range magnetic resonance and magnetic exchange-triggered magnetic resonance transfer synergistically enhance the magnetic loss.Through charge rearrangement/magnetic resonance induced by0D/1D grain boundary coupling,an effective bandwidth of nearly 10 GHz is achieved at a minimal thickness of 2 mm,covering the X and Ku bands.This strategy provides an effective paradigm and novel theoretical insights for ultra-broadband electromagnetic wave absorption applications.

文摘Flexible materials play a crucial role in protecting against behind armour blunt trauma(BABT).However,their compliance complicates the understanding of failure mechanisms and energy absorption.This study used a combined experimental and numerical approach to investigate the response and failure modes of a flexible ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene(UHMWPE)foam protective sandwich structure(UFPSS)under low-velocity impact(LVI).A finite element(FE)model,accounting for nonlinear large deformation and strain-rate-dependent material behavior,was developed for a woven-UFPSS(featuring a plain-woven fabric structure)subjected to a 50 J impact.Experimental and numerical results showed strong agreement in peak force(error<5%),maximum displacement(error<6%),and buffer time(error<8%).The impact's kinetic energy was mainly converted into internal energy of the fabric and foam materials(~50%),viscous dissipation in the foam core(12%-15%),frictional work at the contact interfaces(5%-6%),and work by the pneumatic fixture clamping force(~38%).This study provides the first investigation of the LVI performance of sandwich structures with all soft material layers,offering significant insights for the application of compliant materials in protective fields.

文摘Frozen moraine soils are widely distributed across the Tianshan Mountains,the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau,and other high-altitude regions.Engineering activities,particularly blasting,often induce degradation of the soil microstructure,compromising its mechanical integrity and increasing the risk of slope instability and rainfall-triggered debris flows-posing serious threats to infrastructure in cold regions.Previous studies have largely treated frozen soils as homogeneous continua,thereby overlooking key micro-scale processes such as ice-soil interaction,microcrack propagation,and particle breakage.In this study,the dynamic mechanical behavior and microstructural damage mechanisms of frozen moraine soil were systematically investigated under varying temperatures(−5℃,−15℃,and−25℃)and strain rates(50 s^(-1),70 s^(-1),and 90 s^(-1)).Results reveal that both temperature and strain rate significantly influence the dynamic stress-strain response.Energy absorption exhibits a three-stage pattern of increase,stabilization,and decline.At−25℃,increased ice brittleness reduces the peak energy absorption efficiency under impact.To capture the observed nonlinear behavior,a damage-based constitutive model was developed,incorporating coupled effects of impact-induced microcracking,ice-soil interfacial debonding,and particle fracture.The stochastic evolution of interfacial debonding and grain breakage was described using a Weibull statistical framework,linking microstructural deterioration to macroscopic response.The model shows strong agreement with experimental data and accurately simulates key parameters such as peak stress and energy absorption.These findings enhance the understanding of dynamic damage mechanisms in frozen soils and offer a computational tool for the safety assessment and hazard mitigation of engineering structures in cold,high-altitude environments.

文摘Microwave absorption(MA)materials often face poor synergy between impedance matching and attenuation in the low-frequency range.Balancing permittivity and permeability through magnetic-dielectric synergy is a promising strategy to address this issue.To realize the synergy,herein,Sn whiskers with an in situ oxide layer served as substrates for magnetic-loss-active CoNi nanosheet growth,forming a hierarchical CoNi@SnO_(2)@Sn(CNS)heterostructure.The CNS absorber achieves a minimum reflection loss(RL_(min))value of-62.29 dB with an effective absorption bandwidth(EAB)of 2.2 GHz,covering the entire C-band with 70%absorption at only 2.61 mm thickness.The nanosheet design of CoNi enhances magnetic anisotropy to promote natural resonance,while the conductive Sn core and abundant Sn/SnO_(2) and CoNi/SnO_(2) heterointerfaces facilitate conduction loss and dielectric polarization.When composited into a thermoplastic polyurethane(TPU)matrix,the resulting CNS/TPU-2 film(20 wt%CNS)exhibits an RL_(min) value of-61.04 dB and a 2.5 GHz EAB.Its in-plane and through-plane thermal conductivities reach 2.41 and 0.51 W m^(-1) K^(-1),representing 4.1 and 2.6 times those of pure TPU films,respectively,facilitating heat dissipation from protected devices.This work provides valuable insights into magnetic-dielectric synergy for low-frequency MA of 1D metal-based materials,offering promising potential for 5G communications and flexible electronics.

文摘Directional three-dimensional carbon-based foams are emerging as highly attractive candidates for promising electromagnetic wave absorbing materials(EWAMs)thanks to their unique architecture,but their construction usually involves complex procedures and extremely depends on unidirectional freezing technique.Herein,we propose a groundbreaking approach that leverages the assemblies of salting-out protein induced by ammonium metatungstate(AM)as the precursor,and then acquire directional three-dimensional carbon-based foams through simple pyrolysis.The electrostatic interaction between AM and protein ensures well dispersion of WC_(1−x)nanoparticles on carbon frameworks.The content of WC_(1−x)nanoparticles can be rationally regulated by AM dosage,and it also affects the electromagnetic(EM)properties of final carbon-based foams.The optimized foam exhibits exceptional EM absorption performance,achieving a remarkable minimum reflection loss of−72.0 dB and an effective absorption bandwidth of 6.3 GHz when EM wave propagates parallel to the directional pores.Such performance benefits from the synergistic effects of macroporous architecture and compositional design.Although there is a directional dependence of EM absorption,radar stealth simulation demonstrates that these foams can still promise considerable reduction in radar cross section with the change of incident angle.Moreover,COMSOL simulation further identifies their good performance in preventing EM interference among different electronic components.
