Platinum (Pt) Elements Specifications

Properties:
Platinum (Pt) is a chemical element with atomic number 78. Like gold Platinum is malleable, ductile, and dense transition metal. Platinum is highly unreactive, and one of the rarest elements on earth. Color is silverfish white. Platinum is placed in the group 10 of the periodic table. Platinum has six isotopes. Because Platinum is very scarce, Platinum is a valuable, precious metal. Being one of the least reactive metals, platinum strongly resists to corrosion despite the high temperatures. Platinum is considered a noble metal. Platinum barely reacts with oxygen at high temperatures. Platinum readily reacts with fluorine at 500 Celsius. Platinum is insoluble in hydrochloric and nitric acid; however Platinum dissolves in hot nitric acid hydrochloride. The most common oxidation states of Pt are +2 and +4. As a soft acid, Platinum has a great affinity for sulfur. Platinum is extremely rare, therefore Platinum is an expensive metal. Platinum is hard to wear out and tarnish, so many prefer it as a jewelry.
Applications:
Platinum is used in Jewelry
Platinum is used in Catalytic converts for vehicles( trucks, buses , cars)
Platinum is used as a Catalyst for the production of silicone, benzene, nitric acid
Platinum is used as a Catalyst to enhance fuel cells
Platinum is used in Computer hard disks, thermocouples
Platinum is used in Optical fibers and LCDs, spark plugs, turbine blades, pacemakers and dental fillings
Platinum is used in Compounds with platinum for chemotherapy drugs
Platinum is used in Lasers and photographic materials
Platinum is used in Dentistry
Platinum is used in Electrical contacts and electrodes

Titanium Carbide Powders and Applications

Titanium carbide which has the chemical formula of TiC attracted great interest for many structural applications due to its extremely high melting temperature, high hardness, high chemical resistance and good electrical conductivity. Therefore titanium carbide can be used in cutting tools, grinding wheels, wear-resistant coatings, high temperature heat exchangers, magnetic recording heads, turbine engine seals, and bullet-proof vests, etc. In addition, a promising field of application comprises plasma and flame spraying processes in air, where titanium carbide-based powders show high-phase stability. TiC(Titanium Carbide Powder) (325 mesh, 99,9+%)  can also be used in biomedical implant devices. Materials used for biomedical implant devices must satisfy a variety of property demands, which are often mutually exclusive. Further, different parts of a device demand different material properties. These factors often make it difficult to manufacture a medical device using a...

New Way of Deaf-Mute Communication with 3D Graphene

Image retrieved from: http://blogs.rsc.org/cc/2016/09/01/3d-graphene-adds-dimension-to-deaf%E2%80%93mute-communication/ Chinese scientists have developed wearable electronic device with conductive 3D graphene structure to translate sign language into written text. This technology can be applied by injecting graphene ink from a syringe under printed electronic field. For medical field, such as adhesive patches which determine heart, brain signal and neural activity, wearable and bio-integrated medical devices are very important. Due to noticeable properties of cast graphene, for example a 2D honeycomb lattice, excellent mechanical and electrical behaviors, Graphene has an important material in warble technology. However, it is difficult to preserve advantages of Graphene material in a 3D material which has an information about forces from every angle. Yanlin Song  and co-workers at the University of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, and Shenyang Jianzhu University...

Carbon Nanotubes Doped with Graphene Nanopowder and Applications

Carbon nanotubes and graphene are different forms of carbon atom based materials. They have different properties and can be used in various applications. But what happens if we use them as a hybrid structure? The excellent mechanical, physical, and chemical properties of low-dimensional carbon materials like graphene and carbon nanotube have enabled them as promising building blocks for three-dimensional nanoarchitectures. In this regard, extensive interests have been attracted to synthesize graphene and carbon nanotube hybrid structures. Earlier works suggested that  Carbon Nanotubes Doped with Graphene Nanopowder (52 wt% Graphene )  is a promising solution for quick energy dissipation, which could enhance interface thermal conductivity of the ‘building blocks’ for future nanoscale mechanical and electrical devices. In the electricity perspective, it is found that ‘CNT pillared-graphene’ system would extend the excellent electrical conductivity of graphene and nanotube to ...
