Abstract The structural, phonon, and thermodynamic properties of the ternary carbides Ti 2 AlC, Ti 3 AlC, and Ti 3 AlC 2 in the Ti–Al–C system are investigated by using first‐principles calculations in this paper. Phonon dispersion curves and partial density of states have been investigated and revealed the different Ti–C bond characteristics between Ti 3 AlC and the two other compounds. The Gibbs energy, entropy, heat capacity, and thermal expansion coefficient of the three compounds are predicted by means of the quasi‐harmonic approximation. Furthermore, the thermal electronic contribution has been included in the thermodynamic properties. The obtained results of this study are in good agreement with the available experimental data.
Hydrogels are emerging as stretchable electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials because of their tissue-like mechanical properties and water-rich porous cellular structures. However, achieving high-performance hydrogel shields remains a challenge because enhancing conductivity often results in a compromise in deformation adoptability. This work proposes a treatment strategy involving sulfuric acid/titanium carbide MXene, which can simultaneously enhance the conductivity and stretchability of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS)/poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) double-network hydrogels. Multiple spectroscopic characterizations reveal that sulfuric acid promotes the linear conformation transition of the PEDOT molecular chain, while MXene increases charge delocalization and hydrogen bond cross-linking sites. The hydrogels, synthesized with a combined content of 0.6 wt % of MXene and PEDOT:PSS, exhibit an average X-band EMI SE of 41 dB. This performance is sustained at 94.5%, even following stretching and release at a strain of 200%. Interestingly, the EMI SE is found to linearly increase, reaching a value of 99 dB as the frequency is increased to 26.5 GHz. This increase is attributed to the enhanced water molecular polarization process, as supported by theoretical calculations of the impedance and attenuation constant. This work introduces a post-treatment technique that optimizes double-network hydrogels, providing deep insights into their EMI shielding mechanism and enabling high-performance EMI shielding with an ultralow conductive filler content.
How do owners balance the management and encouragement of general contractors under EPC mode not only affect the project construction effect, but also hinder the promotion of EPC mode. Referring to the theory of evaluation and the thought of performance evaluation, this paper puts forward a set of novel comprehensive evaluation methods from five aspects: comprehensive evaluation index system, comprehensive evaluation method system, grading rules, method and index weighting and comprehensive evaluation. Through the construction of a reasonable comprehensive evaluation framework, it aims to coordinate the commonly used management forces and means of existing engineering construction, objectively and reasonably evaluate the general contractor’s behavior and project construction effect, solve the practical problem of difficult owner supervision under EPC mode, and promote the popularization and application of EPC mode in China.
