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.

Carbon Nanotubes Specifications and Properties Carbon Nanotubes, simply CNTs, are allotropes of carbon with a round and hollow nanostructure. These barrel shaped carbon molecules have crucial properties, which are significant for nanotechnology, hardware, optics and other different fields of materials science and innovation. The carbon nanotube’s excellent quality as a strong and firm material laid the basis on many applications. Not to mention carbon nanotubes exceptional heat conductivity, electrical and mechanical properties, Carbon Nanotubes are used as additives to diverse auxiliary materials. In terms of rigidity and flexibility Carbon Nanotubes are the stiffest and strongest materials. These quality outcomes from the covalent sp2 bonds framed between the individual carbon molecules. Unlike Graphene , Carbon Nanotubes are either conductive or semiconducting along the tubular hub. Carbon Nanotubes also have absorption, fluorescence properties. Bulk Carbon nanotubes are util...

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...
