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.

Rundown about Silicon Oxide Wafer

The main insulating material used in micro-technology is Silicon Dioxide, which in chemical symbols is written as SiO2. In semiconductor technology, SiO2 thin film layers are mainly used as dielectric material film in transistors, capacitors (DRAM) or flash-memories. Silicon Oxide Wafers are produced using crystallization, solid state and other ultra-high purification processes such as sublimation. This process forms a cylindrical ingot, which is then sliced and polished to form wafers. Thermal oxide is a kind of "grown" oxide layer, compared to CVD deposited oxide layer, it has a higher uniformity, and higher dielectric strength, it is an excellent dielectric layer as an insulator . In most silicon- based devices, thermal oxide layer play an important role to pacify the silicon surface to act as doping barriers and as surface dielectrics. The simplest way to produce an insulating silicon oxide layers (SiO2) on silicon wafers is to oxidize silicon with oxygen, which ...
