PEG-PGA（65） showed low cytotoxicity and could shield the positive charge of DNA/PEI（1：1） polyplexes efficiently. The transfection was enhanced due to the partially charge shielding in He La cell line at pH of 7.4. There was almost no transfection efficiency when the surface charge of the ternary particles turned to negative at p H of 7.4. However, the transfection efficiency recovered a lot by culturing at p H of 6.0 at the beginning of transfection. Confocal microscopic observation and flow cytometry results showed DNA/PEI polyplexes should be efficiently released and endocytosized at p H 6.0, because of the p H triggered deshielding action of PEG-PGA（65）. Due to the good biocompatibility and suitable p H triggered shielding/deshielding property, PEG-PGA（65） could be a potential shielding system for polycationic gene carriers used in vivo.展开更多

These characteristics make them ideal for applications in vibration damping, heat insulation and weight reduction. In recent years, there has been increasing interest in the application of interfering energy conversion such as electromagnetic wave (EMW) and sound, where the metal foams could emerge as a solution. This paper will present a comprehensive review of the preparation methods as well as the interference energy converting mechanisms for metal foams. Typically, the progress and prospective aspects of metal foams for EMW absorption, electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding and sound absorption have been emphasized. Through this review, we aspire to offer valuable insights for the development of multifunctional applications with metal foam materials.展开更多

The assessment of electromagnetic SE for Slotted Composite Structures(SCSs) is particularly challenging due to their complex geometries and there remains a lack of suitable models for accurately predicting the SE performance of these intricate configurations. To address this issue, this paper introduces SCS-Net, a Deep Neural Network (DNN) method designed to accurately predict the SE of SCS. This method considers the impacts of various structural parameters, material properties and incident wave parameters on the SE of SCSs. In order to better model the SCS, an improved Nicolson-Ross-Weir (NRW) method is introduced in this paper to provide an equivalent flat structure for the SCS and to calculate the electromagnetic parameters of the equivalent structure. Additionally, the prediction of SE via DNNs is limited by insufficient test data, which hinders support for large-sample training. To address the issue of limited measured data, this paper develops a Measurement-Computation Fusion (MCF) dataset construction method. The predictions based on the simulation results show that the proposed method maintains an error of less than 0.07 dB within the 8–10 GHz frequency range. Furthermore, a new loss function based on the weighted L1-norm is established to improve the prediction accuracy for these parameters. Compared with traditional loss functions, the new loss function reduces the maximum prediction error for equivalent electromagnetic parameters by 47%. This method significantly improves the prediction accuracy of SCS-Net for measured data, with a maximum improvement of 23.88%. These findings demonstrate that the proposed method enables precise SE prediction and design for composite structures while reducing the number of test samples needed.展开更多

PEG-PGA（65） showed low cytotoxicity and could shield the positive charge of DNA/PEI（1：1） polyplexes efficiently. The transfection was enhanced due to the partially charge shielding in He La cell line at pH of 7.4. There was almost no transfection efficiency when the surface charge of the ternary particles turned to negative at p H of 7.4. However, the transfection efficiency recovered a lot by culturing at p H of 6.0 at the beginning of transfection. Confocal microscopic observation and flow cytometry results showed DNA/PEI polyplexes should be efficiently released and endocytosized at p H 6.0, because of the p H triggered deshielding action of PEG-PGA（65）. Due to the good biocompatibility and suitable p H triggered shielding/deshielding property, PEG-PGA（65） could be a potential shielding system for polycationic gene carriers used in vivo.

文摘The development of materials with excellent microwave absorption(MWA)and electromagnetic interference(EMI)shielding performances has currently received attention.Herein,mesophase pitch-based carbon foam(MPCF)with 3D interconnected pore structure was prepared through the high pressure pyrolysis of mesophase coal tar pitch.It is found that the 3D interconnected cellular pores of MPCF facilitate multiple reflections of electromagnetic waves,which results in the minimum reflection loss(RLmin)value of MPCF reaches-37.84 dB with the effective absorption bandwidth(EAB)of 5.44 GHz at a thickness of 2.70 mm,and the total average electromagnetic shielding effectiveness(SE_(T))under 3.00 mm thickness achieves 26.52 dB in X-band.Subsequently,MPCF is activated by KOH to obtain activated carbon foam(A-MPCF).The average SE_(T)of A-MPCF achieves 103.00 dB for abundant nanopores on the pore cell walls,which leads to a transition from the multiple reflections of electromagnetic waves on the walls to diffuse reflection.Unfortunately,the reflection coefficient(R)of A-MPCF increases from 0.78 to 0.90.To reduce the R value,Fe_(3)O_(4)/A-MPCF was fabricated via the in situ growth of nano Fe_(3)O_(4)on A-MPCF.Consequently,the R value of Fe_(3)O_(4)/A-MPCF was reduced from 0.90 to 0.74,whereas the MWA performance was only slightly decreased.This work proposes a simple strategy for simultaneously adjusting MWA and EMI shielding performances of materials.

文摘Electromagnetic interference(EMI)shielding materials principally attain shielding by reflecting electromagnetic waves through impedance mismatch caused by high conductivity,which inevitably leads to secondary electromagnetic wave pollution.Consequently,the development of multifunctional,low-reflection electromagnetic shielding materials remains a significant challenge.Materials that are lightweight,possess high mechanical strength,exhibit excellent electromagnetic shielding absorption,and demonstrate low reflectivity have historically been the focus of significant interest.Natural silk,lightweight and strong,is an ideal composite matrix.Regenerated silk fibroin(RSF)synthesized via a bottom-up approach and cross-linked with polyvinyl alcohol(PVA)forms an aerogel matrix with remarkable compressive strength.In accordance with the principle of integrating functional design with structural design,spherical NiFe_(2)O_(4)particles were grown on the MXene surface via electrostatic self-assembly and combined with RSF/PVA as the aerogel absorptive layer,while RSF/PVA/MXene served as the reflective layer.A vertically oriented structure of Janus aerogel was prepared through sequential directed freezing.The resulting aerogel with 0.058 g/cm^(3) reveals the high compression strength(3.52 MPa).Reasonable functional and structural design enables aerogel to effectively dissipate incident electromagnetic waves through absorption,reflection,and reabsorption processes,achieving an average SET value of 48.05±1.75 dB and reaching a minimum reflection coefficient of 0.19.Furthermore,the aerogel displays remarkable infrared stealth capabilities.This lightweight,rigid,multifunctional aerogel is poised to play a significant role in the field of next-generation electronic devices.

文摘The widespread proliferation of modern wireless devices coupled with overlapping power emissions has brought about electromagnetic(EM)pollution issues,posing many challenges to environment and human health.Therefore,the development of EM shielding devices with high green shielding index(gs)is essential,as they offer absorption-dominant protection that minimizes reflections and safeguards both health and electronics.MXene,with its intrinsic ultra-high electrical conductivity,liquid-phase tunable surface chemistry,low density,large specific surface area,thermal stability,and mechanical stability,has become the leading two-dimensional(2D)material driving the development of green EM shielding devices.In this review we emphasize device-level strategies with engineered architectures for MXene-based green EM shielding.We first examine MXene’s crystal and electronic structure and the fundamental attenuation mechanisms in MXene-based devices.Then we survey fabrication and assembly methods,analyzing three device-level strategies for MXene-based green EM shielded devices:3D architectures,metastructure/meta-surfaces,and external stimulus.Throughout,we highlight how MXene’s distinguished properties enable green EM interference(EMI)shielding devices that minimize secondary interference.Finally,we discuss the challenges faced in the effective utilization of MXene-based in green EM shielding devices,provide insights into these challenges,and offer guidelines for developing the solutions of next-generation green MXene-based EM shielding devices.

文摘Efficient thermal management and electromagnetic interference(EMI)shielding are critical challenges for the reliable operation of portable electronic devices.Herein,we report the design and fabrication of multifunctional layered composite phase change materials(CPCMs)comprising alternating cellulose nanofiber/phase change capsule/sodium alginate(CNF/PCC/SA)layers and MXene/sodium alginate(MXene/SA)layers.The strong interfacial adhesion and controlled multilayer architecture enable the CPCM to achieve high electrical conductivity(up to 279.8 S/cm)and excellent EMI shielding effectiveness(up to 57.6 dB in the X-band).The layered structure enhances electromagnetic wave attenuation via multiple internal reflections and polarization losses,outperforming homogeneous composites.Moreover,the CPCMs exhibit superior light absorption(maximum nearly 100% for the optimized 5-layer structure)and efficient light-to-thermal conversion,achieving rapid temperature increases and uniform heat distribution under light irradiation.Additionally,the phase change capsules enable latent heat storage,ensuring thermal buffering and prolonged temperature regulation.This work provides novel insights into the rational design of multifunctional composites integrating wireless thermal management and EMI shielding,with promising applications in wearable electronics and smart thermal regulation.

文摘To increase the in vivo stability of polycation gene carriers,a pH-sensitive shielding system,γ-benzyl L-glutamate-co-glutamate acid polymer(PGA(60)(60 refers to the molar ratio of glutamate acid in the polymer)),was synthesized and characterized.PGA(60) showed pH sensitivity at about pH 6.0.PGA(60) shielded the positive charge of DNA/PEI(1:1) complexes.Gel retardation assay showed that no DNA-strand exchange with PGA(60) occurred after PGA(60) was added to DNA/PEI complexes at different proportions.MTT cytotoxicity tests demonstrated that neither PGA(60) nor DNA/PEI/PGA(60) ternary complexes had cytotoxicity at the test concentration.The transfection efficiency was improved when the positive charge was partly shielded by PGA(60).Because of the charge repulsion between the surface of cells and ternary complex particles,there was almost no transfection efficiency when the zeta potential of ternary complexes turned to negative.Because of the suitable pH sensitive range,PGA(60) may be a potential shielding system for polycation gene carriers to be used in vivo.

文摘The development of the preparation strategy for high-quality and large-size graphene via eco-friendly routes is still a challenging issue.Herein,we have successfully developed a novel route to chemically exfoliate natural graphite into high-quality and large-size graphene in a binary-peroxidant system.This system is composed of urea peroxide(CO(NH_(2))_(2)·H_(2)O_(2))and hydrogen peroxide(H_(2)O_(2)),where CO(NH_(2))_(2)·H_(2)O_(2)is used in preparing graphene for the first time.Benefiting from the complete decomposition of CO(NH_(2))_(2)·H_(2)O_(2)and H_(2)O_(2)into gaseous species under microwave(MW)irradiation,no water-washing and effluent-treatment are needed in this chemical exfoliation procedure,thus the preparation of graphene in an eco-friendly way is realized.The resultant graphene behaves a large-size,high-quality and few-layer feature with a yield of~100%.Then 4µm-thick ultrathin graphene paper fabricated from the as-exfoliated graphene is used as an electromagnetic interference(EMI)shielding material.And its absolute effectiveness of EMI shielding(SSE/t)is up to 34,176.9 dB cm^(2)/g,which is,to the best of our knowledge,among the highest values so far reported for typical EMI shielding materials.The EMI shielding performance demonstrates a great application potential of graphene paper in meeting the ever-increasingly EMI shielding demands in miniaturized electronic devices.

文摘The relatively fragile low-temperature stability of cryogen-free superconducting magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)magnets requires the careful management of exogenous heat sources.A strongly shielded gradient magnetic field is important for the optimal operation of cryogen-free MRI systems.In this study,we present an enhanced shielding method incorporating a regionalized stray field constraining strategy.By optimizing the constraint parameters,we could develop engineering-feasible gradient coil schemes without increasing system complexity but with the stray field intensity reduced by half.In real measurement in an integrated MRI system,the developed gradient assembly demonstrated good performance and supported to output images of excellent quality.Our findings suggested that the proposed method could potentially form a useful design paradigm for cryogen-free MRI magnets.

文摘Electromagnetic interference(EMI)shielding materials with superior shielding efficiency and low-reflection properties hold promising potential for utilization across electronic components,precision instruments,and fifth-generation communication equipment.In this study,multistage microcellular waterborne polyurethane(WPU)composites were constructed via gradient induction,layer-by-layer casting,and supercritical carbon dioxide foaming.The gradient-structured WPU/ironcobalt loaded reduced graphene oxide(FeCo@rGO)foam serves as an impedance-matched absorption layer,while the highly conductive WPU/silver loaded glass microspheres(Ag@GM)layer is employed as a reflection layer.Thanks to the incorporation of an asymmetric structure,as well as the introduction of gradient and porous configurations,the composite foam demonstrates excellent conductivity,outstanding EMI SE(74.9 dB),and minimal reflection characteristics(35.28%)in 8.2-12.4 GHz,implying that more than 99.99999%of electromagnetic(EM)waves were blocked and only 35.28%were reflected to the external environment.Interestingly,the reflectivity of the composite foam is reduced to 0.41%at 10.88 GHz due to the resonance for incident and reflected EM waves.Beyond that,the composite foam is characterized by low density(0.47 g/cm^(3))and great stability of EMI shielding properties.This work offers a viable approach for craft-ing lightweight,highly shielding,and minimally reflective EMI shielding composites.
文摘High-performance MXene-based polymer nanocomposites are well-suited for various industrial applications owing to their excellent mechanical,thermal,and other properties.However,the fabrication of flame-retardant polymer/MXene nanocom-posites remains challenging owing to the limited flame-retardant properties of MXene itself.This study prepared a novel MXene@Ag@PA hybrid material via radiation modification and complexation reaction.This material was used to further enhance the key properties of ethylene-vinyl acetate(EVA),such as its mechanical properties,thermal conductivity,flame retardancy,and electromagnetic shielding.The addition of two parts of this hybrid material increased the thermal conduc-tivity of EVA by 44.2%and reduced its peak exothermic rate during combustion by 30.1%compared with pure EVA.The material also significantly reduced smoke production and increased the residue content.In the X-band,the electromagnetic shielding effectiveness of the EVA composites reached 20 dB.Moreover,the MXene@Ag@PA hybrid material could be used to further enhance the mechanical properties of EVA composites under electron-beam irradiation.Thus,this study contributes to the development of MXene-based EVA advanced materials that are fire-safe,have high strength,and exhibit good electromagnetic shielding performance for various applications.

文摘The performances of magnesium alloys remain insufficient to further enhance the application potential of ultralight magnesium alloys.In this work,a Mg-8Li-3Y-2Zn alloy was prepared through vacuum melting and subsequent heat treatment at 300,450,and 500°C.The material properties of the resulting samples were assessed through microstructural observation,tensile testing,electrical conductivity measurements,and electromagnetic shielding effectiveness(EMI-SE)testing.The influence of the Mg-8Li-3Y-2Zn alloy microstructure on its mechanical and electromagnetic shielding properties in different states was investigated.It was found that the as-cast alloy containsα-Mg,β-Li,Mg_(3)Zn_(3)Y_(2),and Mg_(12)ZnY phases.Following heat treatment at 500℃(HT500),the blockα-Mg phase transformedfine needle-shapes,its tensile strength increased to 263.7 MPa,and its elongation reached 45.3%.The mechanical properties of the alloy were significantly improved by the synergistic effects imparted by the needle-shapedα-Mg phase,solid solution strengthening,and precipitation strengthening.The addition of Y and Zn improved the EMI-SE of Mg-8Li-1Zn alloy,wherein the HT500 sample exhibits the highest SE,maintaining a value of 106.7–76.9 dB in the frequency range of 30–4500 MHz;this performance has rarely been reported for electromagnetically shielded alloys.This effect was mainly attributed to the multiple reflections of electromagnetic waves caused by the severe impedance mismatch of the abundant phase boundaries,which were in turn provided by the dual-phase(α/β)and secondary phases.Furthermore,the presence of nano-precipitation was also believed to enhance the absorption of electromagnetic waves.

文摘In the present work,by virtue of the synergistic and independent effects of Janus structure,an asymmetric nickel-chain/multiwall carbon nanotube/polyimide(Ni/MWCNTs/PI)composite foam with absorption-dominated electromagnetic interference(EMI)shielding and thermal insulation performances was successfully fabricated through an ordered casting and directional freeze-drying strategy.Water-soluble polyamic acid(PAA)was chosen to match the oriented freeze-drying method to acquire oriented pores,and the thermal imidization process from PAA to PI exactly eliminated the interface of the multilayered structure.By controlling the electro-magnetic gradient and propagation path of the incident microwaves in the MWCNT/PI and Ni/PI layers,the PI composite foam exhibited an efficient EMI SE of 55.8 dB in the X-band with extremely low reflection characteristics(R=0.22).The asymmetric conductive net-work also greatly preserved the thermal insulation properties of PI.The thermal conductivity(TC)of the Ni/MWCNT/PI composite foam was as low as 0.032 W/(m K).In addition,owing to the elimination of MWCNT/PI and Ni/PI interfaces during the thermal imidization process,the composite foam showed satisfactory compressive strength.The fabricated PI composite foam could provide reliable electromagnetic protection in complex applications and withstand high temperatures,which has great potential in cuttingedge applications such as advanced aircraft.

文摘With the wide application of electromagnetic wave,a high performance electromagnetic shielding material is urgently needed to solve the harm caused by electromagnetic wave.Complete cross-linking strategy is adopted in this paper.Polyacrylamide(PAM)was synthesized by in-situ polymerization of acrylamide(AM)monomer.The obtained PAM was blended with polyethylene glycol(PEG)to prepare PAM/PEG hydrogels and form rigid support structures.Subsequently,the modified carbon nanotubes(S-CNTs)were incorpor-ated into sodium alginate(SA)and PAM/PEG.Finally,Na+was used to trigger SA self-assembly,which significantly improved the mechanical properties and electrical conductivity of the hydrogels,and prepared PAM/PEG/SA/S-CNTs-Na hydrogels with high tough-ness and strong electromagnetic interference(EMI)shielding efficiency(SE).The results showed that the compressive strength of PAM/PEG/SA/S-CNTs-Na hydrogel was 19.05 MPa,which was 7.69%higher than that of PAM/PEG hydrogel(17.69 MPa).More en-couraging,the average EMI SE of PAM/PEG/SA/S-CNTs-Na hydrogels at a thickness of only 3 mm and a CNTs content of 16.53wt%was 32.92 dB,which is 113.21%higher than that of PAM/PEG hydrogels(15.44 dB).

文摘Herein,a novel Janus-structured multifunctional membrane with integrated electromagnetic interference(EMI)shielding and personalized thermal management is fabricated using shear-induced in situ fibrillation and vacuum-assisted filtration.Interestingly,within the polytetrafluoroethylene(PTFE)-carbon nanotube(CNT)-Fe_(3)O_(4)layer(FCFe),CNT nanofibers interweave with PTFE fibers to form a stable“silk-like”structure that effectively captures Fe_(3)O_(4)particles.By incorporating a highly conductive MXene layer,the FCFe/MXene(FCFe/M)membrane exhibits excellent electrical/thermal conductivity,mechanical properties,and flame retardancy.Impressively,benefiting from the rational regulation of component proportions and the design of a Janus structure,the FCFe/M membrane with a thickness of only 84.9μm delivers outstanding EMI shielding effectiveness of 44.56 dB in the X-band,with a normalized specific SE reaching 10,421.3 dB cm^(2)g^(-1),which is attributed to the“absorption-reflection-reabsorption”mechanism.Furthermore,the membrane demonstrates low-voltage-driven Joule heating and fast-response photothermal performance.Under the stimulation of a 3 V voltage and an optical power density of 320 mW cm^(-2),the surface temperatures of the FCFe/M membranes can reach up to 140.4 and 145.7℃,respectively.In brief,the FCFe/M membrane with anti-electromagnetic radiation and temperature regulation is an attractive candidate for the next generation of wearable electronics,EMI compatibility,visual heating,thermotherapy,and military and aerospace applications.

文摘As modern communication and detection technologies advance at a swift pace,multifunctional electromagnetic interference(EMI)shielding materials with active/positive infrared stealth,hydrophobicity,and electric-thermal conversion ability have received extensive attention.Meeting the aforesaid requirements simultaneously remains a huge challenge.In this research,the melamine foam(MF)/polypyrrole(PPy)nanowire arrays(MF@PPy)were fabricated via one-step electrochemical polymerization.The hierarchical MF@PPy foam was composed of three-dimensional PPy micro-skeleton and ordered PPy nanowire arrays.Due to the upwardly grown PPy nanowire arrays,the MF@PPy foam possessed good hydrophobicity ability with a water contact angle of 142.00°and outstanding stability under various harsh environments.Meanwhile,the MF@PPy foam showed excellent thermal insulation property on account of the low thermal conductivity and elongated ligament characteristic of PPy nanowire arrays.Furthermore,taking advantage of the high conductivity(128.2 S m^(-1)),the MF@PPy foam exhibited rapid Joule heating under 3 V,resulting in dynamic infrared stealth and thermal camouflage effects.More importantly,the MF@PPy foam exhibited remarkable EMI shielding effectiveness values of 55.77 dB and 19,928.57 dB cm^(2)g^(-1).Strong EMI shielding was put down to the hierarchically porous PPy structure,which offered outstanding impedance matching,conduction loss,and multiple attenuations.This innovative approach provides significant insights to the development of advanced multifunctional EMI shielding foams by constructing PPy nanowire arrays,showing great applications in both military and civilian fields.

文摘As the proportion of composite materials used in aircraft continues to increase, the electromagnetic Shielding Effectiveness (SE) of these materials becomes a critical factor in the electromagnetic safety design of aircraft structures. The assessment of electromagnetic SE for Slotted Composite Structures(SCSs) is particularly challenging due to their complex geometries and there remains a lack of suitable models for accurately predicting the SE performance of these intricate configurations. To address this issue, this paper introduces SCS-Net, a Deep Neural Network (DNN) method designed to accurately predict the SE of SCS. This method considers the impacts of various structural parameters, material properties and incident wave parameters on the SE of SCSs. In order to better model the SCS, an improved Nicolson-Ross-Weir (NRW) method is introduced in this paper to provide an equivalent flat structure for the SCS and to calculate the electromagnetic parameters of the equivalent structure. Additionally, the prediction of SE via DNNs is limited by insufficient test data, which hinders support for large-sample training. To address the issue of limited measured data, this paper develops a Measurement-Computation Fusion (MCF) dataset construction method. The predictions based on the simulation results show that the proposed method maintains an error of less than 0.07 dB within the 8–10 GHz frequency range. Furthermore, a new loss function based on the weighted L1-norm is established to improve the prediction accuracy for these parameters. Compared with traditional loss functions, the new loss function reduces the maximum prediction error for equivalent electromagnetic parameters by 47%. This method significantly improves the prediction accuracy of SCS-Net for measured data, with a maximum improvement of 23.88%. These findings demonstrate that the proposed method enables precise SE prediction and design for composite structures while reducing the number of test samples needed.
