Praseodymium Sputtering Targets and Applications

Praseodymium is a chemical element with symbol Pr and atomic number 59. Praseodymium with being rare-earth metals, is the third member of the lanthanide series. Praseodymium is a soft, silvery, malleable and ductile metal, has an importance for its magnetic, electrical, chemical, and optical properties. Praseodymium is too reactive to be found in native form, and pure praseodymium metal slowly develops a green oxide coating when exposed to air.
Praseodymium sputtering targets can be used in very different applications. For example praseodymium give glasses and enamels a yellow color. Also praseodymium films are used to color ceramics yellow.
Praseodymium films alloyed with nickel has such a strong magnetocaloric effect that it has allowed scientists to approach within one thousandth of a degree of absolute zero.
Praseodymium sputtering targets be used also for corrosion resistant. For example, praseodymium can be implanted into TiN coatings to improve the corrosion resistance and cytocompatibility in blood plasma. Praseodymium ion implantation decreases the hemolysis rate of the TiN coatings so this situation makes this coating material suitable in cardiovascular applications. According to the results of the studies in this area praseodymium ion implantation can effectively improve the corrosion resistance as well as cytocompatibility of TiN coatings in blood plasma.

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...
