Carbon (C)  Powder's Specifications and Uses

Properties:
Carbon is a nonmetallic chemical element placed in the group 14 of the periodic table. Despite the fact that Carbon is located in many areas on Earth, carbon is only 0.025 percent of Earth’s crust. There are several pure forms of carbon such as diamond, fullerenes, and graphene, graphite. Carbon is a crucial element in our life; Carbon is found in all living things.
Applications:
Carbon is remarkable among the elements; Carbon elements forms strongly bonded chains, enclosed by hydrogen atoms. These hydrocarbons, extricated normally as petroleum derivatives (coal, oil and natural gas), are generally utilized as fuels. A little, however, vital part is utilized as a feedstock for the petrochemical enterprises creating polymers, filaments, paints, solvents and plastics and so forth.
Impure carbon as charcoal (from wood) and coke (from coal) is utilized as a part of metal refining. Carbon is especially vital in the iron and steel enterprises.

Graphite is utilized as a part of pencils, to make brushes in electric engines and in heater linings. Activated charcoal is utilized for cleaning and filtration. Carbon is found in respirators and kitchen extractor hoods.
Carbon fiber is finding many uses as an exceptionally solid, yet lightweight, material. Carbon fiber is utilized as a part of tennis rackets, skis, fishing rods, rockets and planes.

Improving Dialysis Process with Graphene

Researchers from Mechanical and Electrical Engineering Departments of MIT recently showed that graphene is a powerful material candidate for use in the dialysis systems (such as hemodialysis machines in medical institutes for filtering human blood). In order to prepare graphene as a dialysis material, researchers used a procedure opposite to the general treatments that nanotechnology people use. Dialysis is a process of filtering different solutions such as human blood by a membrane in order to remove waste molecules, drugs, chemical residues from the solution. In some cases, the process can be used for purification of chemicals or isolation of different molecules for medical diagnosis. It is an essential process for scientists especially in the medical operations.

Graphene Oxide Dispersion

Graphene oxide refers to a mono-atomic layer material obtained when graphite crystals are oxidized. This is one of the graphene materials that are commercially available because of  its ability to dissolve in water  which makes the oxidation process suitable. In this article, we will talk about the  synthesis, the properties and some of the applications of graphene oxide dispersion in water . Seven Properties of Graphene Oxide Dispersion The properties of a material are defined through its structure, however, this material is very peculiar, since there is no unambiguous model of this material. Graphene Oxide dispersion offers remarkable physical, chemical and mechanical properties that give the opportunity to new applications. Graphene Oxide is amorphous , but, in general, graphene oxide can be described as a two-dimensional sheet containing honeycomb carbon atoms with functional groups of hydroxide and oxygen, unlike the graphene model that seeks to completely re...
