Molybdenum Disilicide Sputtering Targets and Applications

Molybdenum Disilicide (MoSi2) Sputtering Targets (Size:2'' ,Thickness:0.250'' , Purity: 99.95%) which has the chemical formula of MoSi2 is a refractory ceramic with primary use in heating elements. It has moderate density and is electrically conductive. At high temperatures it forms a passivation layer of silicon dioxide, protecting it from further oxidation. It is insoluble in most acids but soluble in nitric acid and hydrofluoric acid.

Molybdenum Disilicide (MoSi2) Sputtering Targets is a promising candidate material for high temperature structural applications. It is a high melting point (2030 °C) material with excellent oxidation resistance. However, low toughness at low temperatures and high creep rates at elevated temperatures have hindered its commercialization in structural applications. Molybdenum disilicide-based heating elements have been used extensively in high-temperature furnaces. The low electrical resistance of silicides in combination with high thermal stability, electronmigration resistance, and excellent diffusion-barrier characteristics is important for microelectronic applications. Projected applications of MoSi2-based materials include turbine airfoils, combustion chamber components in oxidizing environments, missile nozzles, molten metal lances, industrial gas burners, diesel engine glow plugs, and materials for glass processing.
Molybdenum Disilicide (MoSi2) Sputtering Targets has emerged as one of the leading intermetallics for use at elevated temperatures. With the objective of developing an oxidation resistant coating system for high temperature applications (up to 1600°C), molybdenum disilicide is one of the compounds which has been studied on.
Molybdenum disilicide also can be used as a heating element in laboratory and industry. Also molybdenum disilicide sputtering targets can be used for protective coating on tantalum and niobium alloys.

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...
