Carbon Sputtering Targets and Applications

Carbon is a chemical element with symbol C and atomic number 6. Carbon is the 15th most abundant element in the Earth's crust, and the fourth most abundant element in the universe by mass after hydrogen, helium, and oxygen. Carbon's ability to give reactions with the most the elements makes it a vital for life.
As we mentioned above carbon is an element that gives reactions easily and this property of carbon make it useful in too many applications. When we focus on nanaparticles of carbon, we see that we can obtain thin films with these particles and use them for various aims. Now let's look at the properties of carbon sputtering targets and how we can obtain them.
Carbon sputtering targets, which have unique characteristics from the wide tunability of their chemical bonds. There are different ways to obtain carbon films and magnetron sputtering is one of these ways. There are three possible mechanisms for the deposition of carbon films with magnetron sputtering. First, the use of argon positive ions may induce sputtering of carbon atoms onto film surfaces like knock-on collision. Second, continuous bombardment of argon ions may enhance the densification of sputtered carbon atoms on the films. Finally, the conversion of sp2to sp3bonds, driven by high local stress, would be generated by the intense bombardment of argon ions.
Porous carbon films that can be obtained by magnetron sputtering are important for various applications such as in gas separation, ultra-filtration, membrane reactors, fuel cells, and bio-sensors. To see how carbon films can be obtained by magnetron sputtering you may check the paper below:

Improving Dialysis Process with Graphene

Researchers from Mechanical and Electrical Engineering Departments of MIT recently showed that graphene is a powerful material candidate for use in the dialysis systems (such as hemodialysis machines in medical institutes for filtering human blood). In order to prepare graphene as a dialysis material, researchers used a procedure opposite to the general treatments that nanotechnology people use. Dialysis is a process of filtering different solutions such as human blood by a membrane in order to remove waste molecules, drugs, chemical residues from the solution. In some cases, the process can be used for purification of chemicals or isolation of different molecules for medical diagnosis. It is an essential process for scientists especially in the medical operations.

Graphene Oxide Dispersion

Graphene oxide refers to a mono-atomic layer material obtained when graphite crystals are oxidized. This is one of the graphene materials that are commercially available because of  its ability to dissolve in water  which makes the oxidation process suitable. In this article, we will talk about the  synthesis, the properties and some of the applications of graphene oxide dispersion in water . Seven Properties of Graphene Oxide Dispersion The properties of a material are defined through its structure, however, this material is very peculiar, since there is no unambiguous model of this material. Graphene Oxide dispersion offers remarkable physical, chemical and mechanical properties that give the opportunity to new applications. Graphene Oxide is amorphous , but, in general, graphene oxide can be described as a two-dimensional sheet containing honeycomb carbon atoms with functional groups of hydroxide and oxygen, unlike the graphene model that seeks to completely re...
