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.

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...
