Specifications of Lutetium Rare Earth Element


* Like promethium, Lutetium is also an element which is not that old. Lutetium Rare Earth Element was the last natural rare earth element to be discovered by Charles James and Georges Urbain. Lutetium’s atomic weight is 174.97 and its chemical symbol is Lu.
*Lutetium rare earth element's name comes from Lutetia which is latin name of Paris.

*This silvery-white rare earth element is considered to be non-toxic and Lutetium rare earth element is included in lanthanide element family.

*Lutetium rare earth element’s reaction with air happens slowly and after 150◦C, it burns to the oxide.

*In lanthanide element family, Lutetium is the densest and hardest one.

*Lutetium is mostly used in petrochemical industries for cracking hydrocarbons. And lutetium is also very useful in cancer therapies.


*Lutetium rare earth element's isotopes are so effective reveal the age of ancient meteorites, blue stone...i.e


* Lutetium rare earth element also has applications for petroleum refining

*Metal dust of lutetium element can be highly explosive.

*Lutetium is also hard to find free in nature. Lutetium rare earth element is usually found in some minerals like monzalite.

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.
