Summary: In this study, core-shell structured nanofibers were prepared by coaxial electrospinning, with the addition of ionic liquid significantly improving the dielectric constant but also leading to a sharp increase in tan delta. Suppressing ion conduction through PEO crystallization reduced the tan delta of the composites with PEO lamellae by half.

Summary: This study successfully fabricated ordered BST fiber arrays and investigated their arrangement and dielectric properties. The results showed that the orientation degree and diameter of the BST fiber arrays were influenced by the drum rotational speed. The BST fiber arrays exhibited the best orientation degree and highest dielectric constant when the polyvinylpyrrolidone content was 8% and the speed was 1000 r/min.

Summary: Achieving high deformation under a low electric field intensity is a challenge for dielectric elastomers (DE) used in artificial electronic skin and artificial muscles. This study fabricated 1D barium titanate (BT@PDA) nanofibers and 2D MXene nanosheets with high aspect ratio and large dipole moment, and introduced them into TPU elastomers. The results showed that MXene/TPU composites had high dielectric constant and low loss due to the interfacial polarization and micro-capacitor structure formed by MXene sheets, while BT@PDA/TPU composites had high dielectric constant and low loss due to the interfacial polarization caused by BT@PDA nanofibers. The MXene/BT@PDA/TPU composites exhibited high dielectric constant, low loss, and low modulus, combining the advantages of the two fillers.

Summary: This study successfully engineered hybrid biomaterials by incorporating the dipeptide Boc-L-phenylalanyl-L-isoleucine into biocompatible polymer microfibers using the electrospinning technique. The examination of the microfibers revealed their morphology and the self-assembly of the dipeptide. Impedance spectroscopy characterized the dielectric properties of the microfibers, indicating an increase in dielectric constant and AC electric conductivity with temperature. The study also revealed the pyroelectric and piezoelectric responses of the engineered fibers, demonstrating their potential for piezoelectric energy harvesting in portable and wearable devices.

Summary: Composite nanofiber films containing polyvinyl alcohol, wheat gluten, and glucose (PWG) were prepared by electrospinning and crosslinked using Maillard crosslinking method. Ferulic acid (FA) was incorporated into the PWG films at various concentrations. The results showed that the diameter of FA-PWG films decreased with increasing FA concentration, until reaching 12%, after which a significant increase in diameter was observed. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) results indicated that FA was present in an amorphous form in the sample films through hydrogen and ester bonds. Release experiments and antimicrobial tests demonstrated the controlled release of FA and excellent antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, suggesting the potential of FA-PWG nanofiber film for active food packaging.

Summary: The complex dielectric functions of LiNbO2 were determined using optical transmittance and reflectance spectroscopies, revealing distinct structures at several bandgap energies. The bandgaps in the spectrum were observed at around 2.3, 3.2, 3.9, and 5.1 eV, and these features were quantitatively reproduced to some extent by an ab-initio calculation including the interaction effects between electrons and holes.

Summary: The sandwich-structured FKM/PVDF films with different GNP components were studied using dielectric relaxation spectroscopy. Compared to single-layered PVDF film, the sandwich-structured films showed increased curie transition temperature and melting temperature, but decreased crystallinities. The permittivities of sandwich-structured films were higher throughout the temperature range, and the dielectric losses showed little change. The films exhibited non-Debye relaxation behavior, and the electrical properties were influenced by the GNP content and layer/layer interface.

Summary: RF magnetron sputtering was used to grow silicon nitride thin film on GaAs substrate to form metal-oxide-semiconductor capacitor. The complex dielectric permittivity, complex electric modulus, and complex electrical conductivity of the prepared capacitor were studied in detail. The dielectric constant and loss decreased with increasing frequency, while increased with temperature, and the ac conductivity increased with both temperature and frequency. Activation energy was determined by Arrhenius equation, and the frequency dependence of ac conductivity was analyzed, providing the value of the frequency exponent.

Summary: The Au/(CoFe2O4-PVP)/n-Si (MPS) diode exhibits good photoresponse characteristics, showing a strong response to illumination with a decrease in parameters such as phi(B0), n, R-s, and I-0 as illumination intensity increases. The double-logarithmic plot of I-ph-P has a slope of 1.27, indicating a lower density of unoccupied trap levels, and the photo-to-dark current ratio confirms the photosensitivity of the diode. The fabricated MPS diode can be used for photovoltaic applications.

Summary: A novel Al/CrO3/p-Si structure was fabricated by spin coating technique. The CrO3 thin layer was characterized using XRD, UV-vis, SEM, and AFM, showing an amorphous structure with an optical band energy of 3.96 eV. The electronic quantities of the Al/CrO3/p-Si junction were extracted using current-voltage (I-V) and capacitance-voltage data, revealing varying interfacial state concentrations under different illumination conditions. Furthermore, the photoelectric parameters of the Al/CrO3/p-Si contact were studied under 100 mW cm(-2) light illumination using I-V measurements.
