Applications of Neodymium Rare Earth Element

*Like Praseodymium, Neodymium was first identified by Carl Auer von Welsbach in 1885 in Vienna in didymium substance. Its chemical symbol is Nd.

*Neodymium Rare Earth Element is the 4^th element of Lanthanide element family and it is a rare earth metal.

*Atomic weight of this silvery-white metal is 144.24.

*Like most of the lanthanide elements, Neodymium Rare Earth Element is considered to be moderately toxic and no important harms are detected.

*Neodymium rare earth element is also effective for making high-powered, infrared lasers for industrial and defense applications

*This soft and bright metal does not stop oxidation at one point unlike many other metal oxide layers. Thus, further oxidation happens.

*Neodymium Rare Earth Element is not found in nature easily and it is not free. It can be found only in minerals which are called Monazite and Bastnaesite.

* Neodymium Rare Earth Element is mostly used in the production of microphones, Mp3 players, speakers, cell phones and etc. It can also be used in magnet production. These are the reasons why Neodymium is very useful for Aerospace Industry and Electrical and Electronic Industry.

Carbon Nanotube Threads

Since its discovery, carbon nanotube (CNT) has attracted many interests in different technology fields due to its extraordinary properties. Properties such as, high strength, great electrical and thermal conductivity, light weight and flexibility made CNT one of the best materials for wide range of applications. However, from its name it can be understood that CNT is a nanoscale material which is very small to be applied for the production of daily products. Researchers all around the world are working on finding methods and techniques which could produce new materials with the extraordinary properties of CNT. Image retrieved from: https://worldindustrialreporter.com/strong-light-flexible-carbon-nanotubes-threads-with-ultrahigh-conductivity/ One of these research is focusing on the production of high strength threads that can be used in the manufacturing of fabrics, cables and ropes. An international group of scientists were able to produce a flexible conductive thread th...

Multi Walled Carbon Nanotube Dispersions

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have attracted enormous attention in recent years due to its unique physical, electronic, optical and potential applications in materials science and nanotechnology. The van der Waals interaction between tubes, however, makes CNTs aggregate in most organic solvents and aqueous solutions, which is the major limitation of their practical applications.Various approaches have been studied to alter the CNT surface to promote the dispersion of individual nanotubes and prevent their reaggregation. On the basis of this widely accepted viewpoint, numerous techniques such as covalent bonding, surfactant coating and polymer wrapping have been developed for surface modification or sidewall functionalization.These methods, however, are complicated, time-consuming and cause permanent damage to the CNT structure and properties of the surface, which produces residues of the dispersion agent for the final product. Figure: Single Walled Carbon Nanotube (SWCNT) It ha...

Magnesium Oxide Nanoparticles/Nanopowder and Applications

General Information about Magnesium Oxide Magnesium oxide which has the chemical formula of MgO, is a white hygroscopic solid mineral that occurs naturally as periclase and is a source of Magnesium. It is a white powder at room temperature. Magnesium Oxide has very high melting point (2825 o C) and boiling point (3600 o C). Magnesium Oxide Nanoparticles/Nanopowder an...
