Germanium Nanopowder

In 1869, Dmitri Mendeleev predicted its existence and some of its properties from its
position on his periodic table, and called the element ekasilicon. Nearly two decades later, in 1886, Clemens Winkler found the new element along with silver and sulfur, in a rare mineral called argyrodite.
 Germanium metal is used as a semiconductor in transistors and various other electronic devices.
 Germanium nanopowder can be obtained in a number of configurations, including passivated, high and ultra-high purities, and carbon coated formations.
 Germanium nanopowder can also be obtained in a suspension for easy dispersion and easy coating
 Germanium nanoparticles have provoked extensive research from engineers and scientist due to their optical properties and various potential applications in energy, medicine, electronics, imaging, and other fields.
 Germanium powder and nanowires have shown exceptional promise as nanomaterials for lithium-ion batteries, taking full advantage of the inherent high surface area of the material.
 Germanium nanoparticles can be used in high speed integrated circuits. Utilizing germanium in silicon-germanium alloys are growing in popularity. Germanium nanopowder plays a crucial role in manufacturing and research in this area.
 Germanium nanopowder has seen extensive interest from researchers for its unique optical properties, which may make germanium nanoparticles an ideal material for medical imaging and related endeavors.

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.
