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.

Boron Carbide Nanoparticles and Their Applications

Boron carbide  which has the chemical formula of B 4 C is one of the hardest materials among the ceramics materials after diamond and boron nitride. In addition to its hardness, it has high thermal stability, low density, chemical inertness and neutron capture property. At temperature above 1200  o C, its hardness exceeds that of the diamond. Thus, it is a crucial material for high technology applications such as abrasive for polishing and grinding media, ceramic amour applications for personal purpose and equipment, blasting nozzles, ceramic bearings, semiconductor applications for dielectric barriers, medical and nuclear applications. B4C (Boron Carbide) Nanoparticles (99.5+%, 40-60nm, Hexagonal)  show an outstanding hardness among the ceramic materials. Therefore, boron carbide nanoparticles are a suitable material for many high performance applications. Boron carbide nanoparticles can be used as polishing, lapping and grinding material for hard mater...

Cadmium Sulfide Nanopowder and Its Applications

Cadmium sulfide is the inorganic compound with the formula CdS. Cadmium sulfide is a yellow solid. It occurs in nature with two different crystal structures as the rare minerals greenockite and hawleyite. As a compound that is easy to isolate and purify, cadmium sulfide the principal source of cadmium for all commercial applications. Its vivid yellow color led to its adoption as a pigment for the yellow paint "cadmium yellow" in the 18th century. Cadmium Sulfide Nano Powder, CdS (99.9+%, 20 nm)  shows unique physical, chemical and structural properties from the bulk. The melting point, electronic absorption spectra, band gap energy crystal structure, and other properties of cadmium sulfide nanoparticles are affected by size. Thus, cadmium sulfide on the whole is an attractive system for practicing synthetic chemistry for nanocrystals and for understanding the chemistry, growth history of nanomaterials and also for various technical applications. Colloidal dispersions of ...
