Summary: Developing high-performance microwave absorbing materials remains a challenge in addressing electromagnetic pollution. This study focuses on interfacial engineering to enhance interfacial polarization, which plays a key role in microwave absorption. The researchers prepared multiple interfacial magnetic carbon nanotubes encapsulated hydrangea-like NiMo/MoC/N-doped carbon via carbothermic reduction. The phase structure and electromagnetic properties were regulated by varying the thermal treatment temperature. Dielectric loss mechanisms were analyzed using Debye relaxation theory. The composites exhibited excellent microwave absorption properties, achieving a reflection loss of less than -20 dB in the frequency range of 3.76-17.52 GHz. The highest reflection loss value of -70.1 dB was achieved at 14.2 GHz with an absorber thickness of only 1.52 mm at a thermal treatment temperature of 800°C. Computer simulation technology was used to analyze the radar cross section (RCS) reduction, with a reduction of 17.05 dBm2 observed at a scattering angle of 0. This work provides a novel approach for achieving multi-interface absorbers for high-performance microwave absorption.

Summary: A low-kappa epoxy composite with excellent comprehensive properties was prepared by introducing octa (aminopropylsilsesquioxane) chloride salt. The introduction of the filler led to a decrease in dielectric constant at a low loading level, while improving thermal stability, hardness, and reducing water adsorption. The improved properties were mainly attributed to the filler's intrinsic cage-like structure, good dispersion in the matrix, and strong interface interaction with the matrix.
