Dysprosium Oxide

Dysprosium oxide(Dy₂O₃) is oxide of one the lanthanides called dysprosium. Dysprosium oxide also called as dysprosia, dysprosium trioxide and didysprosium trioxide. Dysprosium oxide has a pastel yellowish-greenish color and white colors. Dysprosium oxide is almost not soluble in water and thermally stable compound. Dysprosium oxide has a high melting temperature which 2408^oC. Below 1870^oC dysprosium oxide has a cubic structure which has commercial applications. At higher temperatures dysprosium oxide may have monoclinic or hexagonal structures. And thanks to its hygroscopicity, dysprosium oxide has specialized uses in ceramics, glass, phosphorous, lasers and dysprosium metal halide lamps. Dysprosium oxide has a magnetic, optical, fluorescence and paramagnetic properties.

Carbon Nanotubes Specifications and Properties Carbon Nanotubes, simply CNTs, are allotropes of carbon with a round and hollow nanostructure. These barrel shaped carbon molecules have crucial properties, which are significant for nanotechnology, hardware, optics and other different fields of materials science and innovation. The carbon nanotube’s excellent quality as a strong and firm material laid the basis on many applications. Not to mention carbon nanotubes exceptional heat conductivity, electrical and mechanical properties, Carbon Nanotubes are used as additives to diverse auxiliary materials. In terms of rigidity and flexibility Carbon Nanotubes are the stiffest and strongest materials. These quality outcomes from the covalent sp2 bonds framed between the individual carbon molecules. Unlike Graphene , Carbon Nanotubes are either conductive or semiconducting along the tubular hub. Carbon Nanotubes also have absorption, fluorescence properties. Bulk Carbon nanotubes are util...

Boron Carbide Nanoparticles and Their Applications

Boron carbide which has the chemical formula of B 4 C is one of the hardest materials among the ceramics materials after diamond and boron nitride. In addition to its hardness, it has high thermal stability, low density, chemical inertness and neutron capture property. At temperature above 1200 o C, its hardness exceeds that of the diamond. Thus, it is a crucial material for high technology applications such as abrasive for polishing and grinding media, ceramic amour applications for personal purpose and equipment, blasting nozzles, ceramic bearings, semiconductor applications for dielectric barriers, medical and nuclear applications. B4C (Boron Carbide) Nanoparticles (99.5+%, 40-60nm, Hexagonal) show an outstanding hardness among the ceramic materials. Therefore, boron carbide nanoparticles are a suitable material for many high performance applications. Boron carbide nanoparticles can be used as polishing, lapping and grinding material for hard mater...
