Summary: A thorough investigation of dielectric behavior in printed capacitors using a ceramic/polymer composite layer is presented. The ink used contains Ba0.6Sr0.4TiO3 with modified surface properties, a crosslinking agent, and a thermal initiator for immediate ink polymerization. The capacitors with different dielectric layer thicknesses were printed to measure capacitance and loss factor values. The exact layer thicknesses were determined using cross-sectional SEM images, and the permittivities were calculated based on the known effective area. Varying the ink composition yielded different ceramic/polymer ratios and permittivities, which were validated through SEM analysis. Furthermore, the leakage current and the choice of bottom electrode were measured and discussed for performance optimization.

Summary: Micro/nano functional devices with deep integration, intelligence, and miniaturization have gained significant attention in frontier research areas. However, traditional micro/nano fabrication techniques show limitations in manufacturing structures with sophisticated geometries and multi-materials. Additive manufacturing (AM) offers great freedom in fabricating highly sophisticated structures over a wide length scale and provides multi-scale, multi-material, and multi-dimensional manufacturing capabilities for micro/nano functional devices. This comprehensive review discusses recent advances in the AM of micro/nano functional devices, including functional materials, AM techniques, fabricated devices, current limitations, and future envision.

Summary: By developing inkjet-printing ink based on porous NiS/N-MXene, asymmetrical micro-supercapacitors (AMSCs) with excellent performance, seamless integration, and desirable customization are directly inkjet-printed. The AMSCs combine the advantages of NiS and N-MXene, achieving a wide voltage window of 1.5 V, a volumetric capacitance of 429F cm-3, and an energy density of 33.5 mWh cm-3. The remarkable performance is attributed to the complementary advantages of NiS and N-MXene, as well as the unique porous structure. Moreover, the AMSCs can achieve a nearly double rise in voltage and capacitance by seamlessly integrating numerous devices in series and parallel through a simple pattern design and inkjet printing.

Summary: In this study, CBS glass/Al2O3 composites were developed for LTCC applications based on a CaO-B2O3-SiO2 (CBS) glass system with a high boron content. The study revealed that the softening of glass and interfacial reaction between the glass and Al2O3 were the two most important factors affecting LTCC's densification process. Real-time shrinkage rate of LTCC during sintering was successfully simulated, and it was proven that the formation of the CaAl2(BO3)O phase played a significant role in reducing glass viscosity and promoting dense structure formation. The resulting LTCC composite exhibited excellent performance for high-frequency applications.

Summary: In this study, the disordering caused by swift heavy ion irradiation in two different compositions of pyrochlore structures was investigated. X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy were used to analyze the samples before and after irradiation. It was found that both compositions underwent amorphization due to irradiation, with a slower rate observed in Nd1.8Zr2.2O7.1. The irradiation-induced modified track region in Nd1.8Zr2.2O7.1 consisted of defect-rich pyrochlore structure, anion-deficient fluorite structure, and amorphous domains.

Summary: Silicide ceramics, including tantalum disilicide (TaSi2), are known for their exceptional physical properties but are limited in practical applications due to their inherent brittleness at room temperature. In this study, we successfully improved the mechanical properties of TaSi2 ceramics and increased their electrical conductivity by modifying the preparation methods and sintering conditions. These findings provide valuable insights for future applications of TaSi2 and the design of advanced ceramic materials.

Summary: Microstructure design plays a crucial role in regulating the microwave dielectric properties of materials, however, the understanding of frequency temperature stability and related micromechanism remains limited. In this study, a combination of first-principles calculations and experimental observation was used to investigate the correlation among sintering behavior, crystal structure, bonding nature, and microwave dielectric properties of LnPO(4) (Ln = Eu, Pr) ceramics. The research findings systematically clarify the optimized effect and micromechanism of lanthanides on the dielectric properties of monazite ceramics, providing insights into the design and enhancement of microwave dielectric materials.

Summary: The study investigates the frictional and wear behaviors of carbon fiber-reinforced SiC ceramic matrix composites with different fiber orientations mating with ceramic balls. The results show that fiber orientation significantly affects the friction and wear properties of the composites. Pads with randomly arranged fibers demonstrate better friction stability and lower wear volume, potentially suitable for bearing material applications. The research also explores the factors influencing the formation of continuous tribo-film and identifies abrasive wear and oxidation wear as the dominant wear mechanisms for the friction pairs.

Summary: This study reveals the significant influence of resting time on the rheological properties of cement suspensions, which is closely related to non-absorbed polycarboxylate superplasticizers (PCEs) size variation. Adsorbed PCE during resting tends to bridge particles instead of dispersing them, leading to an increased yield stress.

Summary: This study investigates the effect of K/Na ratio on the phase structure, ferroelectric domains, and piezoelectric properties of potassium sodium niobate (KNN)-based ceramics. It reveals that high Na+ content leads to large ferroelectric domains, while high K+ content results in local polarity heterogeneity and distinct dielectric relaxational behavior. The balanced local polarity and stress heterogeneities contribute to improved piezoelectricity.

Summary: In this study, the micro-geometry morphology variation and microstructural transformation mechanism of muscovite crystals under electron beam irradiation were explored. The results revealed the instability of the muscovite lattice under irradiation, as well as the expansion and shrinkage of the lattice with increasing dose. The study also identified changes in chemical structure and other mechanisms involved. These findings are significant for the design of radiation-resistant silicate materials and the manufacturing of electronic components used in the aerospace industry.
