Pyrolytic Graphite Sputtering Targets and Applications

Pyrolytic graphite is a material similar to graphite, but with some covalent bonding between its graphene sheets as a result of imperfections in its production.
Pyrolytic graphite is man-made and is not found in nature. Pyrolytic graphite exhibits good thermal and electrical conductivity as well as high durability and chemical and wear resistance. The thermal and mechanical properties have led to usage as a coating that can be obtained by sputtering targets for individual pebbles in pebble bed reactors and rocket nozzles as well as electronic thermal management applications including heat spreaders. Pyrolytic graphite is biocompatible and thromboresistant and has been investigated as a coating for heart valves and other forms of prosthesis.
Pyrolytic graphite sputtering targets can also be used for coating optical fibers and this coating make them more resistant to harsh environmental conditions. Pyrolytic graphite films can be used also in microelectronics components including vertical interconnects and wires, gate electrodes and electrodes in metal-silicon-insulator capacitors. The ease of processing and favorable properties of pyrolytic graphite make it a good candidate for novel approaches to device fabrication.
Thin films obtained by using pyrolytic graphite sputtering targets are being used for thermal management in electronic devices like smartphones. These films are potentially useful for cryogenic applications, especially in space engineering. One recent example of the usage of pyrolytic graphite thin films is their use in a vibration isolated thermal link for cryocoolers.

Titanium Carbide Powders and Applications

Titanium carbide which has the chemical formula of TiC attracted great interest for many structural applications due to its extremely high melting temperature, high hardness, high chemical resistance and good electrical conductivity. Therefore titanium carbide can be used in cutting tools, grinding wheels, wear-resistant coatings, high temperature heat exchangers, magnetic recording heads, turbine engine seals, and bullet-proof vests, etc. In addition, a promising field of application comprises plasma and flame spraying processes in air, where titanium carbide-based powders show high-phase stability. TiC(Titanium Carbide Powder) (325 mesh, 99,9+%)  can also be used in biomedical implant devices. Materials used for biomedical implant devices must satisfy a variety of property demands, which are often mutually exclusive. Further, different parts of a device demand different material properties. These factors often make it difficult to manufacture a medical device using a...

Hydroxyapatite Nanopowders and Their Applications

Hydroxyapatite, is a naturally occurring mineral form of calcium apatite with the formula Ca 5 (PO 4 ) 3 (OH). Pure hydroxyapatite powder is white. Naturally occurring apatites can, however, also have brown, yellow, or green colorations, comparable to the discolorations of dental fluorosis. Hydroxyapatite Nanopowder/Nanoparticles (50 nm, 99.95+%)  has been widely used as a biocompatible ceramic in many areas of medicine, but mainly for contact with bone tissue, due to its resemblance to mineral bone. In mammals, the skeleton presents a carbonated and partially substituted apatite, based on nanocrystal aggregates, and associated with collagen, building up 3-D structures present in various bone tissue conformations like trabecular or cancellous bone. There has been growing interest in developing bioactive synthetic ceramics that could closely mimic natural apatite characteristics. As mentioned before,  Hydroxyapatite Nanopowder  is the main inorganic constituent of bon...

New Way of Deaf-Mute Communication with 3D Graphene

Image retrieved from: http://blogs.rsc.org/cc/2016/09/01/3d-graphene-adds-dimension-to-deaf%E2%80%93mute-communication/ Chinese scientists have developed wearable electronic device with conductive 3D graphene structure to translate sign language into written text. This technology can be applied by injecting graphene ink from a syringe under printed electronic field. For medical field, such as adhesive patches which determine heart, brain signal and neural activity, wearable and bio-integrated medical devices are very important. Due to noticeable properties of cast graphene, for example a 2D honeycomb lattice, excellent mechanical and electrical behaviors, Graphene has an important material in warble technology. However, it is difficult to preserve advantages of Graphene material in a 3D material which has an information about forces from every angle. Yanlin Song  and co-workers at the University of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, and Shenyang Jianzhu University...
