What is Graphene?
- Graphene, is a thin layer of pure carbon; it is a single, tightly packed layer of carbon atoms. Grapghene is a pure carbon like coal or diamond. Layer of carbon atoms are bonded together in a hexagonal honeycomb lattice. Graphene has a similar molecular structure to the graphite commonly found in pencils.
What are applications of Graphene?
- Graphene used in solar cells.
- Graphene used in pressure sensors.
- Graphene used in chip making.
- Graphene used in smartphones.
- Graphene used in monitors.
- Graphene used in biological engineering.
- Graphene used in optical electronics.
- Graphene used in ultrafiltration.
- Graphene used in energy storage.
- Graphene used in composite materials .
- Graphene used in membranes.
What are advantages of Graphene?
- Graphene is both tiny and strong material.
- Graphene layers are flexible and transparent.
- Graphene is excellent heat and electricity conductor.
- Graphene production is low cost.
- Graphene is perfectly adapted for fundemental studies.
- Graphene is easy to prepare.
- Quality of small flakes of graphene is excellent.
- Graphene has several unique properties.
- Graphene is planar so it is more suitable to the existing processes and instruments for a eventual transition.

Usage of Silver Conductive Adhesive Paste in Corrosion Protection

In electronics, solders are main material to connect electrical components to substrates which are generally printed circuit boards. Although they are cheap, they are not effective if long term performance is considered since solders have low resistivity to corrosion relatively. Since corrosion reduce reliability, the cost of advanced technological systems such as RADAR, SONAR, LIDAR and more increase. In addition, small signals can be lost, and in huge data transfer, some of the data can be lost also especially which may lead catastrophic failures in critical systems. For instance, surface to air missiles can be launched to target which is not exist if the data coming from detection systems is noisy. Therefore, corrosion protection is necessary, and  silver conductive adhesive paste  is an essential candidate to replace PbSn solders due to its resistivity to corrosion. Silver conductive adhesive paste provide not only noisy reduction but also electromagnetic interference whi...

Titanium Carbide Powders and Applications

Titanium carbide which has the chemical formula of TiC attracted great interest for many structural applications due to its extremely high melting temperature, high hardness, high chemical resistance and good electrical conductivity. Therefore titanium carbide can be used in cutting tools, grinding wheels, wear-resistant coatings, high temperature heat exchangers, magnetic recording heads, turbine engine seals, and bullet-proof vests, etc. In addition, a promising field of application comprises plasma and flame spraying processes in air, where titanium carbide-based powders show high-phase stability. TiC(Titanium Carbide Powder) (325 mesh, 99,9+%)  can also be used in biomedical implant devices. Materials used for biomedical implant devices must satisfy a variety of property demands, which are often mutually exclusive. Further, different parts of a device demand different material properties. These factors often make it difficult to manufacture a medical device using a...

Hydroxyapatite Nanopowders and Their Applications

Hydroxyapatite, is a naturally occurring mineral form of calcium apatite with the formula Ca 5 (PO 4 ) 3 (OH). Pure hydroxyapatite powder is white. Naturally occurring apatites can, however, also have brown, yellow, or green colorations, comparable to the discolorations of dental fluorosis. Hydroxyapatite Nanopowder/Nanoparticles (50 nm, 99.95+%)  has been widely used as a biocompatible ceramic in many areas of medicine, but mainly for contact with bone tissue, due to its resemblance to mineral bone. In mammals, the skeleton presents a carbonated and partially substituted apatite, based on nanocrystal aggregates, and associated with collagen, building up 3-D structures present in various bone tissue conformations like trabecular or cancellous bone. There has been growing interest in developing bioactive synthetic ceramics that could closely mimic natural apatite characteristics. As mentioned before,  Hydroxyapatite Nanopowder  is the main inorganic constituent of bon...
