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 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...
