Summary: Carbon nanofibers (CNFs) have attracted considerable attention due to their ability to enhance the properties of materials. This paper proposes a method to enhance the electrochemical performance and flexibility of CNFs by using electrostatic self-assembly and a dipping and drying strategy. The resulting PAN@rGO@PPy electrode shows specific capacitance of 203 F g(-1) and high energy density of 15 Wh kg(-1) in a flexible supercapacitor. It also demonstrates remarkable cycling stability after 10,000 cycles. The research provides valuable insights for the development of flexible energy storage devices.

Summary: This study investigates the influence of incorporating different concentrations of nylon 6 short nanofibers into an epoxy matrix on the tensile and viscoelastic properties of nanocomposites. The results showed moderate improvement in modulus, fracture energy, and failure strain, despite a general drop in strength, at an optimum concentration of 0.1 wt% nanofibers. The addition of nanofibers also altered the fracture behavior and introduced energy absorbing interfaces, making the nanocomposites suitable for diverse applications.

Summary: In this study, novel Co/C magnetic nanocomposite fibers were successfully prepared via electrospinning and carbonization methods for electromagnetic (EM) absorption. Extensive characterization of morphology, composition, magnetic properties, and EM absorption performance was conducted. The material exhibited exceptional EM absorption performance, outperforming any single precursor and similar investigations, attributed to the microstructure and macrostructure of magnetic Co nanoparticles encapsulated in carbon nanofibers and cross-linked three-dimensional (3D) conductive networks. These findings provide insights into the production of one-dimensional carbon-based absorbers and establish a theoretical foundation for exploring the application potential of this material.

Summary: Electrospinning has attracted attention for its ability to create nonwoven nanofiber webs with high surface area and porosity. However, traditional needle and syringe-based systems have limited productivity. This article examines the latest developments in nonconventional electrospinning methods, such as needleless and syringeless electrospinning, which have the potential to meet industrial-scale manufacturing requirements and produce nanofibers that are difficult to spin using traditional techniques.

Summary: Thin film polyethylene oxide, produced by the thermal evaporation technique, exhibits structural and property differences compared to bulk polyethylene oxide. The dielectric constant of polyethylene oxide thin film is 10 times greater than that of bulk polyethylene oxide. There is consistency among dielectric constants, activation energies, and free volume fractions for both thin film and bulk samples. Polyethylene oxide thin film is observed to be more brittle than bulk polyethylene oxide.

Summary: Although molecular dynamics (MD) simulation is a powerful tool for investigating the atomic-scale structures of complex materials, its reliable and accurate application to multi-component glass systems faces challenges due to limited force fields (FFs) and the complexity of chemical environments. This study demonstrates the feasibility of efficient and accurate large-scale density functional theory (DFT) calculations for multi-component glass systems. The evaluation of classical FFs based on the results of large-scale DFT calculations reveals low accuracy for non-bridging oxygen atoms, and differences in Si-O-Si angle distribution and electronic structure for X = Mg.

Summary: In this study, vanadium oxide xerogel samples were successfully synthesized through a liquid phase reaction and the interaction of films with water. The samples were thoroughly analyzed using X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy, revealing the existence of two distinct phases. It was also discovered that previous misinterpretations regarding the high-pressure polymorph structure were due to the formation of a high-temperature phase. These findings highlight the potential for further refining and expanding the current structural models of vanadium oxide xerogel in future research efforts.

Summary: The relationship between the heterogeneous structure and structural relaxation in metallic glasses was explored by investigating the quasielastic and viscoelastic behavior of a Zr55Cu30Ni5Al10 metallic glass. Stress-annealing treatment was used to retain elastic strain energy, and a unique creep recovery phenomenon was observed during the reheating process.
