Rundown about Aluminum

Properties:
Aluminum (Al) is a silvery-white, soft and malleable metal. Aluminum is light and sixth most ductile element. Aluminum readily reacts with oxygen, so aluminums pure form is rarely found. However, because of the reaction with oxygen, aluminum oxide is formed and coats the aluminum itself and prevents it from corrosion. That comes as the reason why aluminum is widely used in many applications. Aluminum is non-toxic, non-sparking, and non-magnetic. Aluminum has high thermal and electrical conductivity. The most crucial property of Al(Aluminum) is that when aluminum is alloyed with other metals, the resulting product acquires many astonishing properties. Alloys with magnesium, manganese, copper, silicon are quite strong, but lightweight at the same time. When evaporated in vacuum, Al(Aluminum) can be used as a reflective coating for heat and light. At last, aluminum is cheap and replaces most metals in daily life use.
Applications:
Aluminum is used in many diverse products
Aluminum is used in the aircraft components
Aluminum is used in window frames
Aluminum is used in kitchen utensils
Aluminum is used in foils, cans, beer kegs
Aluminum is used in vehicles and aircrafts
Aluminum is used in wires, electrical transmission lines
Aluminum is used in toys , packaging elements
Aluminum is used in papers, sheets , telescope mirrors
Aluminum is used in protection coats
Aluminum is used in solar technology
Aluminum is used in outdoor furniture

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 that i

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.

Magnesium Oxide Nanoparticles/Nanopowder and Applications

General Information about Magnesium Oxide Magnesium oxide which has the chemical formula of MgO, is a white hygroscopic solid mineral that occurs naturally as periclase and is a source of Magnesium. It is a white powder at room temperature. Magnesium Oxide has very high melting point (2825  o C) and boiling point (3600  o C).                                                                                                                                                                                Magnesium Oxide Nanoparticles/Nanopowder and Usage Areas                                        Magnesium Oxide nanoparticles/nanopowder  can be used in many different areas. For example Magnesium Oxide nanoparticles/nanopowder are used as a fire retardant for chemical fiber and plastics trades.
