- Silicon carbide is a compound of silicon and carbon, also known as carborundum .
- Silicon carbide nanopowder has larger specific surface area, high purity, and narrow range particle size distribution
- Silicon carbide has smaller thermal expansion coefficient, better abrasion resistance, chemical stability,and high thermal conductivity
- Silicon carbide’s mechanical strength is higher than the corundum
- Silicon carbide nanopowder is a semiconductor and resistant to oxidation in high temperature.
- In the arts, silicon carbide is a popular abrasive in modern lapidary due to the durability and low cost of the material.
- In manufacturing, it is used for its hardness in abrasive machining processes such as grinding, honing, water-jet cutting and sandblasting.
- Particles of silicon carbide are laminated to paper to create sandpapers and the grip tape on skateboards.

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
