Facts about Boron Nanopowder

- Boron was discovered by Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac and Louis Jacques Thénard in 1808.

- Boron Nanopowders are spherical or faceted high surface area oxide magnetic nanostructured particles.

- Boron is found in borates, borax, boric acid, colemanite, kernite, and ulexite.The name Boron originates from a combination of carbon and the Arabic word buraqu meaning borax.

- Boron nanopowder has been used for applications including ceramic and polymer nanocomposites.

- Boron Nanopowder can serve as a rugged, highly abrasive surface for any number of purposes. Combined with Boron Nanopowder’s thermal properties, this makes Boron Nanopowder highly effective for high speed cutting and similar tasks.

- Borates in general work to kill a variety of insects and similar pests through simple physical destruction, making Boron Nanopowder one of the most universally effective pest control options.

- The thermal properties of Boron Nanopowder make it an excellent ignition aid for any number of applications. This sees Boron Nanopowder used in charcoal briquettes, fuels, torches, and countless other applications.

- Boron compounds produced with boron nanopowders make it useful in anti-freeze, brake fluids, hydrolic systems, and other applications where ferrous materials need protection against corrosion.

- Boron Nanopowder offers unique applications in photography, tanning, electrolytic condensation, fuel cells, and a host of other photoelectric fields.

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 that i

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.
