Uses of Iron (Fe) Nanoparticles

Properties:
Iron is a chemical element with atomic number 26. Iron is a metal in the first transition series. Iron is one of the most common elements in the world. Iron is found in much of inner and outer core of Earth. Pure iron has a silver color and it conducts electricity and heat well. Iron readily reacts with many other elements, so Iron is hard to find its pure form. Iron naturally occurs as iron ores, such as magnetite, siderite, hematite.
One of the remarkable traits of the iron is that it is highly magnetic. In a strong magnetic field any part of iron can be easily magnetized. Iron is also believed that the earth’s core holds around 90 percent of iron.
Iron is a crucial element for all living things and is nontoxic. Iron is the fourth most abundant element.
The bad side of the iron’s properties is that Iron has a tendency to rust. However, if coated with other elements such as zinc, it becomes a pretty effective material. The most effective method is the use of steel.

Applications:
Iron is used in manufacturing steel that is utilized in civil engineering (girders, reinforced concrete) and in manufacturing. Steel has many types and each type holds different properties, making it useful in even broader area of applications. Alloy steels are carbon steels with additives like nickel, chromium, etc., that are stronger than carbon steels and are used in applications including electricity pylons, bicycle chains, bridges, cutting tools, gun barrels. Stainless steel does not rust and if alloyed with other metals such as nickel it is readily used in architecture, cutlery bearings, jewelry, surgical instruments. Cast iron is used for pipes, pumps and valves. Magnets can be made of iron alloyed with other elements. Iron can also be used as a catalyst (Haber process for making ammonia...).

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...

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...

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 ...
