Platinum Sputtering Targets and Applications

Platinum is a chemical element with symbol Pt and atomic number 78. Platinum is a dense, malleable, ductile, highly unreactive, precious, silverish-white transition metal.
Platinum is a member of the platinum group of elements and group 10 of the periodic table of elements. Platinum is one of the least reactive metals. It has remarkable resistance to corrosion, even at high temperatures, and is therefore considered a noble metal.
Platinum sputtering target is used in catalytic converters, laboratory equipment, electrical contacts and electrodes, platinum resistance thermometers, dentistry equipment, and jewelry.
Apart from platinium's decorative value as a corrosion-resistant, platinum sputtering target is useful in thermometers, electrodes and catalysts. Thin platinum films have long been used as thermocouple elements in the aeronautical research field, as well as resistance thermometers and strain gauges. In the biomedical applications ultra-thin platinum films can be used as conductive biocompatible material, and can be used in coronary artery stents, auditory prostheses, and pace-maker electrodes.
These properties of platinum make it a good chemical that can be worked on. For example NASA has an article about the usage of platinum thin films for high temperature sensor applications. According to NASA , the studies were carried out by depositing films in a resistive strain gauge pattern and making measurements of the resistance with an ohmmeter, since an application of the platinum films in NASA’s thin film sensor research would be as a resistive-based sensor.

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...
