Summary: This article presents the use of a Luneburg lens to excite a leaky-wave antenna in the sub-THz frequency range. The antenna is fabricated on a 140-mu m thick cyclic Olefin copolymer substrate, with radiating slots etched on the polymer using photolithography. Experimental results show good input reflection coefficient and beam steering capability. The proposed solution offers a low-cost and low-profile alternative for beam-scanning antennas in the sub-THz range.

Summary: A solvent-assisted bonding strategy was proposed to improve the bonding quality and reduce the fabrication time of microfluidic chips. The results showed that mixing cyclohexane with isopropanol can reduce the dissolution effect. The optimal parameters for solvent treatment of the cover sheet were found to be a cyclohexane volume fraction of 70%, a dose of 1.5 mL, a bonding pressure of 2 MPa, and a bonding time of 240 s, resulting in a bonding strength of 913 kPa.

Summary: This letter presents the design, fabrication, and characterization of an air-mode 1-D photonic crystal resonator (PCR) operating at 100 GHz. The PCR was made of an inexpensive cyclic olefin copolymer (COC) using computer numerical control (CNC) milling. Despite the lack of complete electromagnetic bandgap due to the low permittivity of the COC, a resonator with a high quality factor (Q-factor) of 2800 was achieved by shaping the resonant field to minimize radiative loss.

Summary: This study investigates the morphological, rheological, and dynamic mechanical properties of blends of cyclo-olefin copolymers (COC) and poly(Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene) (ABS) with different monomer compositions. The results show that the morphology of the blends varies with composition, and the addition of ABS increases the shear modulus and viscosity of the blends. Furthermore, the influence of ABS on the blends differs when using COC with different norbornene contents, with lower norbornene content COC being more compatible with ABS.

Summary: An electrolyte-gated graphene field-effect transistor is developed to detect Gd3+ ions in water. The transistor has source and drain electrodes fabricated by photolithography, and the graphene channel obtained through inkjet printing and electro-reduction of graphene oxide ink. The Gd3+-selective ligand DOTA is functionalized with an alkyne linker to be grafted on a gold electrode, and its affinity for Gd3+ is retained. The functionalized electrode is used as the gate in the graphene transistor to modulate the source-drain current based on the Gd3+ concentration on the gate surface.

Summary: This study focuses on the application and evaluation of diatomite as an adsorbent for Nd3+, Ce3+, and La3+ rare earth elements (REEs). The results show that diatomite has a porous and cylindrical structure with a specific surface area of 150 m2/g. The diatomite can effectively adsorb cationic REEs, with the uptake percentage increasing in the order of La3+, Ce3+, and Nd3+. Kinetic and equilibrium processes were best described by the Avrami-fractional order (AFO) and Liu isotherm model, respectively. The research demonstrates that diatomite is a sustainable and low-cost adsorbent for REEs recovery from synthetic and real effluents.

Summary: This study investigated the recovery of Gd3+ from real leachate of phosphogypsum using natural bentonite clay. The adsorption study revealed that the clay has typical bentonite characteristics and can effectively adsorb Gd3+. The kinetics and thermodynamics of the adsorption process were analyzed, and it was found that the Langmuir model and Avrami fractional order model were suitable for describing the adsorption isotherms and kinetic data, respectively. The study also showed that citric acid was an efficient desorbing agent for Gd3+ from the bentonite, and the clay could selectively recover Gd3+ from the real leachate of phosphogypsum.

Summary: The corrosion behavior of Fe-60 and Fe-83 ribbons in 0.6 M NaCl was studied. Fe-60 exhibited a local corrosion mode and formed a stable passivation film with higher corrosion resistance, while Fe-83 showed a combination of local and global corrosion modes and had lower corrosion resistance. Controlling the precipitation of nanocrystalline phases and increasing the POx content in the passivation film significantly improved the corrosion resistance of Fe-based glassy alloys.
