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.

Carbon Nanotube Threads

Since its discovery, carbon nanotube (CNT) has attracted many interests in different technology fields due to its extraordinary properties. Properties such as, high strength, great electrical and thermal conductivity, light weight and flexibility made CNT one of the best materials for wide range of applications. However, from its name it can be understood that CNT is a nanoscale material which is very small to be applied for the production of daily products. Researchers all around the world are working on finding methods and techniques which could produce new materials with the extraordinary properties of CNT. Image retrieved from:  https://worldindustrialreporter.com/strong-light-flexible-carbon-nanotubes-threads-with-ultrahigh-conductivity/ One of these research is focusing on the production of high strength threads that can be used in the manufacturing of fabrics, cables and ropes. An international group of scientists were able to produce a flexible conductive thread th...

Multi Walled Carbon Nanotube Dispersions

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs)  have attracted enormous attention in recent years due to its unique physical, electronic, optical and potential applications in materials science and nanotechnology. The van der Waals interaction between tubes, however, makes CNTs aggregate in most organic solvents and aqueous solutions, which is the major limitation of their practical applications.Various approaches have been studied to alter the CNT surface to promote the dispersion of individual nanotubes and prevent their reaggregation. On the basis of this widely accepted viewpoint, numerous techniques such as covalent bonding, surfactant coating and polymer wrapping have been developed for surface modification or sidewall functionalization.These methods, however, are complicated, time-consuming and cause permanent damage to the CNT structure and properties of the surface, which produces residues of the dispersion agent for the final product. Figure: Single Walled Carbon Nanotube (SWCNT) It ha...
