Nedoymium Oxide Applications

Neodymium oxide (Nd2O3) is the one of the rare earth oxides. Neodymium oxide can be also called as neodymium sesquioxide. Neodymium oxide has a light bluish gray color. The hexagonal crystal structure is the only structure that neodymium oxide could appear. Neodymium oxide is almost insoluble in water, 0.00003 gram per 100 ml, but neodymium oxide could be dissolved in acids. Neodymium oxide is thermally stable compound, and neodymium oxide has a hygroscopic nature which may be resulted in formation of neodymium hydroxide. In other words, neodymium oxide is not compatible with strong oxidizing agents. Neodymium oxide has a high dielectric constant. Moreover, neodymium oxide has good insulating properties and an appropriate band offset with Si for microelectronic applications.
Neodymium oxide is used in solid-state lasers, carbon arc-light electrodes and enamels
Neodymium oxide is used to dope glasses, including sunglasses which are used in welding goggles and other colored glasses
Neodymium oxide is used as a starting material in production of pure neodymium
Neodymium oxide is used in photonic applications, e.g. phosphorous providing yellow-to-violet up conversion emission
Neodymium oxide is used as components for advanced materials, e.g. high temperature ceramics and superconductors
Neodymium oxide is used as component of catalytic systems like oxidative coupling of methane, nitrogen decomposition, dehydrogenation of alcohols and high-temperature processes
Neodymium oxide is used to simulate the actinide oxides during testing the new materials as a host matrix for long nuclear wastes

Graphene Tyres and Graphene Brake Pads

Could Graphene Use Create A Distruptive Technology In Tyre Sector? Almost every day, we see new applications emerging from graphene. The fact is certain; graphene is a disruptive technology that holds huge potential for commercialization. Graphene has abilities to open new markets and even replace existing materials or material technologies. A brand new application of graphene came out which is producing graphene tyres and brake pads. https://www.canadacarbon.com/brake-linings-gasket... In 2016 GraphChina (Graphene Innovation Conference); Sentury and Huagao launched their first electrostatic conducting graphene tyre on September 22nd. 2-3 weeks before the conference Sentury and Huagao officially announced their cooperation on the product. During the press conference, Sentury’s engineers (which is branded with the Landsail moniker), revealed that the latest test data shows their graphene-enhanced tyre offers; 1.8 meters shorter stopping distances (6 % improvement on conv...

Characterization and potential uses of Hydroxyapatite Nanopowder/Nanoparticle

   Hydroxylapatite , also referred to as hydroxyapatite (HA), is a calcium apatite in its naturally occurring mineral form with the formula Ca5(PO4)3(OH). A fluorapatite or chlorapatite may be produced if the OH−ion is replaced by fluoride, chloride or carbonate. Hydroxylapatite crystallizes in the hexagonal crystal pattern. Pure hydroxylapatite powder is of white color. However, naturally occurring apatites can also have brown, yellow, or green hue, resembling the coloration of dental fluorosis. Hydroxyapatite Nanopowder/Nanoparticle (HApN) , nanodots or nanocrystals are spherical or faceted high surface area oxide magnetic nanostructured particles. Nanoscale Hydroxyapatite Nanopowder/Nanoparticle (HApN) are normally 20-80 nanometers (nm) with specific surface area (SSA) in the 15 - 50 m2/g range but sometimes available with an average particle size of 100 nm range with a specific surface area of approximately 5 - 10 m2/g. Hydroxyapatite Nanopowder/Nanoparticle (HApN...
