Boron (B), Properties Of Boron

Properties:
Boron is a chemical element with atomic number 5. Boron is a dark powder that is scarce on earth. The biggest boron deposits are located in Turkey. Boron is usually used in chemical compounds. Boron forms stable covalent molecular bonds. Boron is considerably difficult to obtain boron’s pure material. The oxidation rate of boron relies on the particle size, crystallinity, purity and temperature. At room temperature air does not affect boron, but at higher temperatures boron burns and boron trioxide is formed. Boron has the oxidation state 3 in most compounds (with oxides, halides, nitrides, sulfides). Boron has two stable isotopes, ^ 11 B (80.1%) and ^10 B (19.9%). Boric acid, borax and boric oxide are the most vital compounds of Boron.
Applications:
Boron is used in Rocket fuel igniter
Boron is used in Pyrotechnic flares
Boron is used in Eye drops
Boron is used in Mild antiseptics
Boron is used in Washing powders
Boron is used in Tile glazes
Boron is used in Food preservative
Boron is used in Bleach
Boron is used in Manufacture of borosilicate glass (Pyrex)
Boron is used in Fibreglass textiles
Boron is used in Nuclear reactors
Boron is used in Neutron detection
Boron is used in Dopant in semiconductors and reagent intermediates agriculture

Graphene Tyres and Graphene Brake Pads

Could Graphene Use Create A Distruptive Technology In Tyre Sector? Almost every day, we see new applications emerging from graphene. The fact is certain; graphene is a disruptive technology that holds huge potential for commercialization. Graphene has abilities to open new markets and even replace existing materials or material technologies. A brand new application of graphene came out which is producing graphene tyres and brake pads. https://www.canadacarbon.com/brake-linings-gasket... In 2016 GraphChina (Graphene Innovation Conference); Sentury and Huagao launched their first electrostatic conducting graphene tyre on September 22nd. 2-3 weeks before the conference Sentury and Huagao officially announced their cooperation on the product. During the press conference, Sentury’s engineers (which is branded with the Landsail moniker), revealed that the latest test data shows their graphene-enhanced tyre offers; 1.8 meters shorter stopping distances (6 % improvement on conv...

Characterization and potential uses of Hydroxyapatite Nanopowder/Nanoparticle

   Hydroxylapatite , also referred to as hydroxyapatite (HA), is a calcium apatite in its naturally occurring mineral form with the formula Ca5(PO4)3(OH). A fluorapatite or chlorapatite may be produced if the OH−ion is replaced by fluoride, chloride or carbonate. Hydroxylapatite crystallizes in the hexagonal crystal pattern. Pure hydroxylapatite powder is of white color. However, naturally occurring apatites can also have brown, yellow, or green hue, resembling the coloration of dental fluorosis. Hydroxyapatite Nanopowder/Nanoparticle (HApN) , nanodots or nanocrystals are spherical or faceted high surface area oxide magnetic nanostructured particles. Nanoscale Hydroxyapatite Nanopowder/Nanoparticle (HApN) are normally 20-80 nanometers (nm) with specific surface area (SSA) in the 15 - 50 m2/g range but sometimes available with an average particle size of 100 nm range with a specific surface area of approximately 5 - 10 m2/g. Hydroxyapatite Nanopowder/Nanoparticle (HApN...
