Differing from the statically precipitated grain boundary α(GBα) that holds Burgers Orientation Relationship(BOR) with adjacent β grains, in this work, it was found that over 97.77 % of the dynamically precipitated GBαs do not hold BOR with either side of the adjacent β grains in hot-forged Ti-652 titanium alloy. The evolution of GBα orientation was decoupled as dynamic precipitation and annihilation, which was quantitatively distinguished by defining three misorientation angles: the deviation form BOR(ω), the misorientation between adjacent β grains(θ) and the misorientation between non-BOR GBαs(θ'). During the entire hot forging, an adequate dynamic precipitation produces piecewise continuous and slender GBαs with ω <10°typically, manifesting as θ <25°but θ'>45°. Oppositely, a sufficient annihilation leads to the dynamic globularization of GBαs and increase of ω with θ≥25°but mainly θ'≤45°. Dynamic precipitation was driven by the intrinsic BOR preference of GBαs, while annihilation attributed to grain growth and rotation caused by accumulated plastic deformation. Deciphering the dynamic precipitation and annihilation of GBα provides a quantitative criterion to tailor microstructures and mechanical properties in the future.

High intraocular pressure(IOP) is one of the high-risk pathogenic factors of glaucoma. Existing methods of IOP measurement are based on the direct interaction with the cornea. Commercial ophthalmic tonometers based on snapshot measurements are expensive, bulky, and their operation requires trained *** contact lenses are easy to use, but they may block vision and cause infection. Here, we report a sensory system for IOP assessment that uses a soft indentor with two asymmetrically deployed iontronic flexible pressure sensors to interact with the eyelid-eyeball in an eye-closed situation. Inspired by human fingertip assessment of softness, the sensory system extracts displacement-pressure information for soft evaluation, achieving high accuracy IOP monitoring(>96%). We further design and custom-make a portable and wearable ophthalmic tonometer based on the sensory system and demonstrate its high efficacy in IOP screening. This sensory system paves a way towards cost-effective, robust, and reliable IOP monitoring.

Scholars aim for the improved impedance matching (Z) of materials while maintaining their excellent wave absorption properties. Based on the hydrolysis characteristics of isopropyl titanate, a simple preparation process for the coating of carbonyl iron powder(CIP) with TiO_(2) was designed. Given the TiO2coating, the Z of the CIP@TiO_(2) composite was adjusted well by decreasing the dielectric constant. Moreover, the interfacial polarization of CIP@TiO_(2) was enhanced. Ultimately, the electromagnetic-wave (EMW) absorption property of the CIP@TiO_(2)composite was improved substantially, the minimum reflection loss reached-46.07 dB, and the effective absorption bandwidth can reach 8 GHz at the composite thickness of 1.5 mm. Moreover, compared with CIP, the oxidation resistance of CIP@TiO_(2)showed remarkable improvement. The results revealed that the oxidation starting temperature of CIP@TiO_(2) as about 400℃,whereas the uncoated CIP had an oxidation starting temperature of approximately 250℃. Moreover, the largest oxidation rate temperature of CIP@TiO_(2) increased to around 550℃. This work opens up a novel strategy for the production of high-performance EMW absorbers via structural design.
