This review places an emphasis on chitosan intelligent hydrogels. The fabrication methods and mechanisms are introduced in this review and the interactions of the formation of hydrogels with both physical and chemical bonds are also introduced. The relationship between the structural characteristics and the corresponding functions of stimuli-responsive characteristics, self-healing functions and high mechanical strength properties of the chitosan hydrogels are discussed in detail.

We proposed, designed and fabricated a high transparency of metasurface-based polarization controller at microwave frequencies, which consists of orthogonal two pairs of cut wires. The high transmission and the strong dispersion properties governed by electromagnetically induced transparency-like (EIT-like) effects for both incident polarizations make our device efficiently manipulating the polarization of EM waves. In particular, the proposed polarization device is ultrathin (~0.017λ), as opposed to bulky polarization devices. Microwave experiments are performed to successfully demonstrate our ideas, and measured results are in reasonable agreement with numerical simulations.
