Deposits of clastic carbonate-dominated (calciclastic) sedimentary slope systems in the rock record have been identified mostly as linearly-consistent carbonate apron deposits, even though most ancient clastic carbonate slope deposits fit the submarine fan systems better. Calciclastic submarine fans are consequently rarely described and are poorly understood. Subsequently, very little is known especially in mud-dominated calciclastic submarine fan systems. Presented in this study are a sedimentological core and petrographic characterisation of samples from eleven boreholes from the Lower Carboniferous of Bowland Basin (Northwest England) that reveals a >250 m thick calciturbidite complex deposited in a calciclastic submarine fan setting. Seven facies are recognised from core and thin section characterisation and are grouped into three carbonate turbidite sequences. They include: 1) Calciturbidites, comprising mostly of highto low-density, wavy-laminated bioclast-rich facies; 2) low-density densite mudstones which are characterised by planar laminated and unlaminated muddominated facies; and 3) Calcidebrites which are muddy or hyper-concentrated debrisflow deposits occurring as poorly-sorted, chaotic, mud-supported floatstones.

Conducting polymers in biomedical engineering

Polyaniline–MWCNT nanocomposites for microwave absorption and EMI shielding

Conducting polymers are extensively studied due to their outstanding properties, including tunable electrical property, optical and high mechanical properties, easy synthesis and effortless fabrication and high environmental stability over conventional inorganic materials Although conducting polymers have a lot of limitations in their pristine form, hybridization with other materials overcomes these limitations The synergetic effects of conducting polymer composites give them wide applications in electrical, electronics and optoelectronic fields An in-depth analysis of composites of conducting polymers with carbonaceous materials, metal oxides, transition metals and transition metal dichalcogenides etc is used to study them effectively Here in this review we seek to describe the transport models which help to explain the conduction mechanism, relevant synthesis approaches, and physical properties, including electrical, optical and mechanical properties Recent developments in their applications in the fields of energy storage, photocatalysis, anti-corrosion coatings, biomedical applications and sensing applications are also explained Structural properties play an important role in the performance of the composites

Conducting polymers: a comprehensive review on recent advances in synthesis, properties and applications

The need for protecting human or devices from harm and for keeping something from being detected by other instruments is spawning a world of attention in the development of novel electromagnetic (EM) wave absorption materials An ideal EM wave absorber is necessary to have light weight, thin thickness, high EM wave absorption, broad width, tunable absorption frequency, and multi-functionality This article introduces the EM wave absorption mechanism and reviews the development of polymer-based nanocomposites for EM wave absorption, in which polymers act as absorbing components or/and matrixes And we also summarize the approaches to design the ideal absorber, including introduction of nanostructure, and simultaneous action of both dielectric and magnetic materials with special structure by directly mixing, core–shell or multilayer structure
