Tungsten Disulfide Sputtering Targets and Applications

Tungsten disulfide is the chemical compound with the formula WS2. It occurs naturally as the rare mineral tungstenite. Tungsten disulfide is a component of certain catalysts used for hydrodesulfurization and hydrodenitrification.
Now let's take a look how Tungsten Disulfide (WS2) Sputtering Targets (Size:3'' ,Thickness:0.125'' ,Purity:99.9%)  can be used. We all know that as the development of science and technology, especially flourishing development of space technology, the requirement of lubricating material has been increasing accordingly.
Development high-performance solid lubricating material has been exigent problem. Transition metal dichalcogenides are layered semiconductors. They have been extensively studied in the form of thin films for their potential applications in photovoltaic solar cells. These are layered compound semiconductors and crystallize in the hexagonal form P63/mmc. Each layer consists of metal layer sandwiched between two chalcogen layers in a trigonal prismatic structure. They exhibit in-plane strong covalent bonds between the metal and chalcogen atoms and weak Van der Waals type interactions between the layers. In recent decade, some transition metal dichalcogenides, such as tungsten disulphide and molybdenum disulfide, are well known for their solid lubricating behavior and used for solid lubricants due to their extreme degree of anisotropy of the layered crystal structures. Under a shearing force the basal planes slide back and forth over one another by intracrystalline slip and transfer to the rubbing counterface. As a late-model excellent solid lubrication films tungsten disulfide films performance is better than classical molybdenum disulfide films in some aspects. So the tribological behavior of tungsten disulfide films has been paid more and more attention. We can obtain tungsten disulfide thin films by some different methods, but in laboratory the RF magnetron sputtering is the most efficient method. As the deposition parameters different, properties of tungsten disulfide thin films obtained by RF magnetron sputtering are inevitable different.

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 ...
