Porous composites coated with hybrid nano carbon materials perform excellent electromagnetic interference shielding
TL;DR: In this article, a commercial sponge was coated with silver nanoparticles before being dip-coated with graphene (GP)/ink, multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs)/ink or hybrid GP/MWC NTs/ink to form Ag/carbon nanomaterial hybrid composites, and then the composites were subjected to EMI measurements in the frequency range of 0.45-1.5 GHz.

An investigation of the thermal energy storage capacity of Glauber's salt with respect to thermal cycling
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the thermal energy storage capacity of the unthickened mixture to the thickened mixture as a function of thermal cycling and showed a significant improvement in performance of the thinnened mixture over that of the Glauber's salt and borax mixture.
