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.

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 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...
