Opportunities of Copper (Cu)

Properties:
Copper is a chemical element with atomic number 29. Copper is like many other elements malleable, mild, ductile metal. Coppers thermal and electrical conductivity is quite high. Copper is reddish-orange and is found on earth in directly usable form. Copper has corrosion resistance.

Applications:
Copper is one of the metals that are used to make coins. Most copper is utilized in applications including electrical equipment ( wiring and motors). Copper is used in construction (roofing and plumbing), industrial machinery. Copper’s alloys like copper sulfate are used as an agricultural poison and as an algicide in water cleaning. Copper is also used in chemical tests for sugar detection, electronic connectors, circuitry wiring and contacts, printed circuit boards, micro-chips, semi-conductors, magnetrons in microwaves, electromagnets, vacuum tubes, commutators, welding electrodes, fire sprinkler systems, heat sinks, heat exchanger tubes for condensers in steam power stations and chemical plants, irrigation and agricultural sprinkle systems, piping at distillation plants, seawater feed lines , cement pumps for drill water supply, tubes for distribution of natural and liquefied petroleum , fuel gas distribution piping, handles, door knobs , locks , tables, lighting and bathroom fixtures, faucets, hinges, wiring for glass defrost systems, fitting, fasteners, and brass screws, hydraulic lines, bronze sleeve bearings, wiring for window and mirror controls…

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 th...

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. Figure: Single Walled Carbon Nanotube (SWCNT) It ha...
