Herein, heterogeneous polyacrylonitrile (PAN)/graphene (Gr)@multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs)/CoFe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub> multilayer films featuring electric-magnetic coupling were fabricated through a facile vacuum filtration method. The asymmetric layered architecture was composed of a flexible PAN electrospun nanofiber mat, an electrically conductive hybrid of Gr@MWCNTs, and a layer of insulating CoFe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub> particles. The nanosized magnetic CoFe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub> particles with unique magnetic hysteresis loss and natural resonance were synthesized by hydrothermal method and deposited on the conductive layer, to improve the impedance matching and reduce the electromagnetic wave (EMW) reflection. As a consequence, after incorporating the CoFe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub> layer, the EMW absorption loss (SE<sub>A</sub>) was improved from 21.7 to 25.7 dB. Furthermore, the hybrid conductive network was regulated by altering the ratio of two-dimensional (2D) Gr to one-dimensional (1D) MWCNTs, to endow the well-designed multilayer films with a high EMI shielding effectiveness (SE) of 40.1 dB and a superior specific shielding effectiveness (SSE) of 326.3 dB/mm. By virtue of the fine-tuned Gr@MWCNTs conductive network, the PAN/Gr@MWCNTs/CoFe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub> multilayer films exhibited excellent Joule heating performance, with high sensitivity, low driving voltage, rapid response, superior cycling stability and long-term durability.

The framework is specifically designed to develop a multiparametric solution capable of accurately predicting the macroscopic nonlinear stress–strain curves of woven composite laminates submitted to loading–unloading paths. It takes into account five key microstructural parameters: yarn weft width, yarn warp width, yarn spacing, fabric thickness as well as the reinforcement orientation. The methodology employs the Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD) technique to decompose the stress–strain curves, extracting principal features that effectively characterize the overall composite’s response. Subsequently, a Random Forest machine learning model is applied to interpolate these features across the microstructural parameter space, allowing for rapid retrieval of corresponding features for any new laminate configuration in the nonlinear regime. A key advantages of this approach is its capacity to dynamically generate extensive virtual test databases, in real-time, across a wide range of composite laminate configurations. This capability provides a comprehensive and efficient tool for analyzing and optimizing composite performance while substantially reducing both experimental and computational costs. Furthermore, to enhance usability for engineers and researchers, this multiparametric solution has been integrated into a user-friendly Graphical User Interface (GUI) application. This GUI empowers users to easily explore various laminate configurations, visualize results, and conduct virtual testing, establishing the framework as a powerful tool for real-time virtual testing and in-depth analysis of microstructural effects on composite materials.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":283,"journal":{"name":"Composites Science and Technology","volume":"262 ","pages":"Article 111055"},"PeriodicalIF":8.3,"publicationDate":"2025-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143092891","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Conventional methods for fabricating conductive NFA composites often entail complex procedures, including additional thermal annealing and carbonization, to establish three-dimensional conductive networks, which significantly hinder scalability and practical applications. To overcome this challenge, we propose a sustainable, cost-effective, and efficient hydrogen-bonded self-assembly drive strategy for designing conductive nanofiber networks with robust coaxial structures. During polymerization, pyrrole monomers were in situ polymerized onto cellulose acetate/thermoplastic polyurethane (CA/TPU) composite nanofibers through hydrogen-bonding, forming a roubst conductive shell layer while facilitating the mutual cross-linking of short nanofibers to establish a porous three-dimensional network.
