Specifications of Chromium (Cr)

Properties:
Chromium is a chemical element with atomic number 24. In group 6 Chromium is placed as the first element. Chromium is a grayish, lustrous, hard and brittle metal. Chromium does not tarnish and has a high boiling point. Like some other metals (iron) Chromium is magnetic. When polished chromium becomes shiny, so many use Chromium to protect and color the surface of other materials.
Applications:
Chromium is utilized to make steel hard, to produce stainless steel.
Chromium is used in Chromium plating,
Chromium plated plastics(which are used, for example, in bathroom fittings),
Chromium is used in Tanning leather.
Chromium compounds are used as catalysts and pigments.
Chromium is used in High-speed tool steels.
Chromium is used in Jet engines and gas turbines.
Chromium is used in Electroplating. Synthetic ruby and the first laser.
Chromium is used in Wood preservative. Timber treatment to protect food from decay fungi, blast furnaces, cement kilns, molds for the firing of bricks and also used as foundry sands for casting of metals, as catalysts for processing hydrocarbons.

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...
