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.

Graphene Tyres and Graphene Brake Pads

Could Graphene Use Create A Distruptive Technology In Tyre Sector? Almost every day, we see new applications emerging from graphene. The fact is certain; graphene is a disruptive technology that holds huge potential for commercialization. Graphene has abilities to open new markets and even replace existing materials or material technologies. A brand new application of graphene came out which is producing graphene tyres and brake pads. https://www.canadacarbon.com/brake-linings-gasket... In 2016 GraphChina (Graphene Innovation Conference); Sentury and Huagao launched their first electrostatic conducting graphene tyre on September 22nd. 2-3 weeks before the conference Sentury and Huagao officially announced their cooperation on the product. During the press conference, Sentury’s engineers (which is branded with the Landsail moniker), revealed that the latest test data shows their graphene-enhanced tyre offers; 1.8 meters shorter stopping distances (6 % improvement on conv...

Characterization and potential uses of Hydroxyapatite Nanopowder/Nanoparticle

   Hydroxylapatite , also referred to as hydroxyapatite (HA), is a calcium apatite in its naturally occurring mineral form with the formula Ca5(PO4)3(OH). A fluorapatite or chlorapatite may be produced if the OH−ion is replaced by fluoride, chloride or carbonate. Hydroxylapatite crystallizes in the hexagonal crystal pattern. Pure hydroxylapatite powder is of white color. However, naturally occurring apatites can also have brown, yellow, or green hue, resembling the coloration of dental fluorosis. Hydroxyapatite Nanopowder/Nanoparticle (HApN) , nanodots or nanocrystals are spherical or faceted high surface area oxide magnetic nanostructured particles. Nanoscale Hydroxyapatite Nanopowder/Nanoparticle (HApN) are normally 20-80 nanometers (nm) with specific surface area (SSA) in the 15 - 50 m2/g range but sometimes available with an average particle size of 100 nm range with a specific surface area of approximately 5 - 10 m2/g. Hydroxyapatite Nanopowder/Nanoparticle (HApN...
