Transparent conductive film on plastic substrate is a critical component in low-cost, flexible, and lightweight optoelectronics. Industrial-scale manufacturing of high-performance transparent flexible needed to enable wide-ranging applications. Here, we demonstrate continuous roll-to-roll (R2R) production based metal nanowire network fully encapsulated between graphene monolayer substrate. Large-area grown Cu foil via R2R chemical vapor deposition process was hot-laminated onto nanowires...

Abstract Conventional conductive materials such as metals are crucial functional components of systems in diverse electronic instruments. However, their severe intrinsic impedance mismatch with air dielectric causes strong reflection incident electromagnetic waves, and the resulting low transmissivity typically interferes surrounding signal communications modern multifunction‐integrated Herein, graphene glass fiber fabric (GGFF) that merges electrical properties attributes highly porous...

The study utilised a fine-grained diagnostic checklist to assess first-year undergraduates in Hong Kong and evaluated its validity usefulness for diagnosing academic writing English. Ten English language instructors marked 472 essays with the checklist. They also agreed on Q-matrix, which specified relationships among items five subskills. This conceptual Q-matrix was refined iteratively via fitting psychometric model (i.e. reduced reparameterised unified model) empirical data marks) through...
