Synthesis and Microwave Absorption Properties of Yolk–Shell Microspheres with Magnetic Iron Oxide Cores and Hierarchical Copper Silicate Shells

Yolk–shell microspheres with magnetic Fe₃O₄ cores and hierarchical copper silicate shells have been successfully synthesized by combining the versatile sol–gel process and hydrothermal reaction. Various yolk–shell microspheres with different core size and shell thickness can be readily synthesized by varying the experimental conditions. Compared to pure Fe₃O₄, the as-synthesized yolk–shell microspheres exhibit significantly enhanced microwave absorption properties in terms of both the maximum reflection loss value and the absorption bandwidth. The maximum reflection loss value of these yolk–shell microspheres can reach −23.5 dB at 7 GHz with a thickness of 2 mm, and the absorption bandwidths with reflection loss lower than −10 dB are up to 10.4 GHz. Owing to the large specific surface area, high porosity, and synergistic effect of both the magnetic Fe₃O₄ cores and hierarchical copper silicate shells, these unique yolk–shell microspheres may have the potential as high-efficient absorbers for microwave absorption applications

A Versatile Route toward the Electromagnetic Functionalization of Metal–Organic Framework-Derived Three-Dimensional Nanoporous Carbon Composites

Designable electromagnetic parameters accompanied by a low density of metal–organic framework (MOF)-derived metal/carbon composites are essential prerequisites for excellent microwave-absorbing materials. However, the conventional route is confined to slight modification of the physicochemical properties of metal species and carbon, which also restricts the functionalization of MOF-derived materials. Here, a facile technique has been improved by making full use of highly porous structure to uniformly introduce metallic Co nanoparticles into carbon matrix derived from Cu₃(btc)₂. Through changing the starting amount of Co sources, the composition of the final products can be tuned, offering an effective route to control electromagnetic properties. Multiple attenuation mechanisms are employed to realize excellent reflection loss performance, which can be clarified by modified equivalent circuit mode. Effective frequency bandwidth (<i>f</i>_e) over the whole X band can be obtained by optimizing interfacial polarization through changing interface area and electrical conductivity. Broad <i>f</i>_e covering almost the whole K_u band from 12.3 to 18 GHz with a thin thickness of 1.85 mm can be gained through improving impedance matching and enhancing conduction loss. The present work not only sheds light on the easy fabrication of high-performance lightweight microwave-absorbing materials but also paves the way for extending functionalities of MOF-derived carbon composites

Double-Shelled Yolk–Shell Microspheres with Fe₃O₄ Cores and SnO₂ Double Shells as High-Performance Microwave Absorbers

Double-shelled yolk–shell microspheres with Fe₃O₄ cores and SnO₂ double shells have been successfully synthesized by combining the versatile sol–gel process and hydrothermal shell-by-shell deposition method. The as-synthesized double-shelled Fe₃O₄@SnO₂ yolk–shell microspheres have uniform size, unique morphology, well-defined shells, favorable magnetization, large specific surface area, and high porosity and exhibit significantly enhanced microwave absorption properties in terms of both the maximum reflection loss value and the absorption bandwidth. The excellent microwave absorption properties of these microspheres may be attributed to the unique double-shelled yolk–shell structure and synergistic effect between the magnetic Fe₃O₄ cores and dielectric SnO₂ shells

Immunological and Virological Benefits Resulted from Short-Course Treatment during Primary HIV Infection: A Meta-Analysis

<div><p>Objectives</p><p>To assess the potential immunological and virological effects that result from short-course antiretroviral treatment during primary HIV infection (PHI). And to investigate whether treatment initiation time, treatment duration and follow-up time after treatment interruption would affect these post-treatment immunovirological outcomes.</p> <p>Methods</p><p>We systematically searched PubMed, Cochrane Library (to September 2013) and retrieved conference abstracts for studies regarding effects of early treatment during PHI on CD4 count and viral load (VL). Using the method of calculating weighted mean differences with Stata11.0, we conducted meta-analyses on the effect of early treatment on CD4 count and VL. Then we performed subgroup analyses by follow-up time after treatment interruption, treatment initiation time and treatment duration. Baseline immunovirological characteristics were also analyzed to account for potential bias. </p> <p>Results</p><p>Compared to the untreated arm, treatment during PHI not only increased CD4 count by 85.92 cells/μl but also lowered viral load by 0.30 log copies/ml within one year after treatment interruption. However, the benefits declined gradually, reaching no significance 12-24 months after treatment interruption. Baseline immunovirological characteristics and sensitivity analyses of randomized controlled trials indicated that the benefits mentioned above were underestimated. Extending treatment duration beyond 12 months did not increase efficacy.</p> <p>Conclusions</p><p>Short-course treatment during PHI was associated with immunological and virological benefits which last for at least one year after treatment interruption. The conclusions from our study would help the decision-making in the clinical management of PHI. </p> </div
