With the fast-developing miniaturization and integration of microelectronics packaging materials, ultrahigh-voltage electrical devices, light-emitting diodes (LEDs), and in areas which require good heat dissipation and low thermal expansion, the investigations on the polymeric composites with highly thermal conductivities and excellent thermal stabilities are urgently required, which would be beneficial to transferring the heat to the outside of the products, finally to effectively avoid substantial overheating and prolong their working life. Our article reviews recent progress in the classification, measurement methods, model and equations, mechanisms, commonly used thermally conductive fillers, and the correlative fabrication methods for the thermally conductive polymeric composites, aiming to understand and grasp how to enhance the λ value effectively. And future perspectives, focusing scientific problems and technical difficulties of the present thermally conductive polymeric composites are also described and evaluated.

electricity on a large scale with ultralow greenhouse gases emission. [2] Uranium is the most critical ingredient for the production of nuclear power. In order for nuclear power to be a sustainable energy generation in the future, economically viable sources of uranium beyond terrestrial ores must be developed. [3] The oceans hold ≈4.5 billion tons of uranium, [4] making them a potential huge resource to support nuclear power production for hundreds of years. [5] All that is required is the ability to capture this element from seawater in cost-and energy-efficient ways. In the last decades, researchers worldwide have tried various methods to recover uranium from seawater and aqueous solution, such as coprecipitation, [6] ion-exchange, [7] adsorption via porous organic polymers, [8,9] and organic-inorganic hybrid adsorbents. [10][11][12][13][14][15][16] Among these technologies, the adsorption approach, particularly by using fiber-based adsorbents, is recognized as the most feasible process in terms of practicality, processability, cost, and environmental concerns. [3,17] In the 1990s, Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) research teams had successfully captured over 1083 g of uranium directly from ocean by using nonwoven fabric adsorbent, firmly establishing the practicality of uranium recovery from the oceans in appreciable quantities. [3,18] Uranium extraction from seawater via fiber adsorption has recentlyThe oceans contain hundreds of times more uranium than terrestrial ores. Fiber-based adsorption is considered to be the most promising method to realize the industrialization of uranium extraction from seawater. In this work, a pre-amidoximation with a blow spinning strategy is developed for mass production of poly(imide dioxime) nanofiber (PIDO NF) adsorbents with many chelating sites, excellent hydrophilicity, 3D porous architecture, and good mechanical properties. The structural evidences from 13 C NMR spectra confirm that the main functional group responsible for the uranyl binding is not "amidoxime" but cyclic "imidedioxime." The uranium adsorption capacity of the PIDO NF adsorbent reaches 951 mg-U per g-Ads in uranium (8 ppm) spiked natural seawater. An average adsorption capacity of 8.7 mg-U per g-Ads is obtained after 56 d of exposure in natural seawater via a flowthrough column system. Moreover, up to 98.5% of the adsorbed uranium can be rapidly eluted out and the adsorbent can be regenerated and reused for over eight cycles of adsorption-desorption. This new blow spun PIDO nanofabric shows great potential as a new generation adsorbent for uranium extraction from seawater.

“…The magnetic loss decreased firstly and then increased with the frequency, resulting from eddy current and natural resonance. The FGR-PR composites with negative permittivity and magnetic properties simultaneously show significant potential in bigyrotropic materials, magneto-optical materials, magnetic recording systems, sensors, machine intelligence, electromagnetic interference absorbing, and other fields [56][57][58][59][60][61][62].…”

Magnetic Fe 3 O 4 @graphene-phenolic resin (FGR-PR) composites with negative permittivity were prepared by chemical coprecipitation and pressing method. Alternating current conductivity, permittivity, and permeability of the FGR-PR composites were investigated. An obvious percolation phenomenon was observed with the increase of FGR content from 84 to 91 vol%. Two types of negative permittivity attributed to the Lorentz and the Drude model, respectively, w e r e o b s e r v e d i n t h e c o m p o s i t e s . D u e t o t h e magnetocrystalline anisotropy and saturation magnetization, the real permeability enhanced from 1.17 to 4.1 with the increasing FGR content from 6 to 98 vol%. In addition, the frequency dispersion of permeability was attributed to the domain wall and the gyromagnetic spin resonance. The magnetic loss decreased firstly in the low frequency, attributing to the natural resonance, and then increased in the high frequency from the eddy current.
