Titanium Nitride Sputtering Targets and Applications

Titanium nitride which has the chemical formula of TiN is an extremely hard ceramic material, often used as a coating on titanium alloys, steel, carbide, and aluminium components to improve the substrate's surface properties.
Applied as a thin coating, Titanium Nitride (TiN) Sputtering Targets (Size:1'' ,Thickness:0.125'' , Purity: 99.5%) is used to harden and protect cutting and sliding surfaces, for decorative purposes (due to its golden appearance), and as a non-toxic exterior for medical implants. In most applications a coating of less than 5 micrometres (0.00020 in) is applied.
The titanium thin film coatings are used in many industrial and medical applications owing to its superior properties such as high corrosion resistance, increase in mechanical properties, high thermal properties . Titanium nitride composition has various distinctive advantages such as wear resistant coatings, tools used for cutting, diffusion barriers and integrated circuits. Titanium nitride composition also have outstanding physical properties such as high hardness, inert, high corrosion resistance, low electrical resistivity, excellent thermal stability. These titanium and titanium nitride coating materials have the combination of toughness, inertness, adhesion and hardness, owing to its excellent reflective nature and also used in jewelry and optics. So, titanium and titanium nitride coatings have various advantages over other coating material and the applications ranges from microelectronics, light detectors, cutting tools and medical instrumentation. Therefore, special interest has been developed over the years about these Ti and TiN coatings.
When we look at the sputtering targets we can say that titanium nitride is one of the important compounds prepared by sputtering deposition and these nitride films are used in wide range of applications. The titanium nitride deposition is prepared by using nitrogen as the reactive gas and argon as sputtering gas, the composition of thin films can be controlled by different sputtering gas ratios (Ar/ N2) used.

Usage of Silver Conductive Adhesive Paste in Corrosion Protection

In electronics, solders are main material to connect electrical components to substrates which are generally printed circuit boards. Although they are cheap, they are not effective if long term performance is considered since solders have low resistivity to corrosion relatively. Since corrosion reduce reliability, the cost of advanced technological systems such as RADAR, SONAR, LIDAR and more increase. In addition, small signals can be lost, and in huge data transfer, some of the data can be lost also especially which may lead catastrophic failures in critical systems. For instance, surface to air missiles can be launched to target which is not exist if the data coming from detection systems is noisy. Therefore, corrosion protection is necessary, and  silver conductive adhesive paste  is an essential candidate to replace PbSn solders due to its resistivity to corrosion. Silver conductive adhesive paste provide not only noisy reduction but also electromagnetic interference whi...

Nanocellulose: Descriptions, Usage and Applications

Nanocellulose  is denoted by nano-structured cellulose which consist of C6H10O5. Since cellulose is abundant polymer in nature, large quantity of nanocellulose can be manufactured from the cost-effective aspect. Non-toxic and lightweight properties make it easy to carry, so it can be used in applications which requires mobility. High tensile, stiffness and electrical conductivity expand its usage through electrical and mechanical applications. Unique properties depending on the type of nanocellulose are also exist. There are three types which are cellulose nanocrystal (CNC), cellulose nanofibers (CNF), and bacterial nanocellulose (BNC). First type of nanocellulose is  cellulose nanocrystal , development in applications show that CNCs have unique specialities for improving mechanical properties of nanocomposites such as electrospun nanocomposite fibers/mats and nanocomposite hydrogels. Numerous nanocomposite hydrogels reinforced with CNCs can be designed to be sens...

Reduced Graphene Oxide and Applications

Graphene oxide (GO)  is a type of graphene that contains oxygen functional groups and has some interesting properties different than those of graphene. By reducing graphene oxide,  reduced graphene oxide  is obtained which is abbreviated to rGO. In this process, the functional groups of graphene are removed but it still contains residual oxygen, hetereatoms and structural defects which decrease its quality. Having less-quality compared to pristine graphene, rGO is still an outstanding material for various applications since it resembles an attractive cost and manufacturing processes compared to the pristine graphene. Especially, it is preferred in applications that call for a large amount of material. Depending on the method of preparation of reduced graphene oxide, properties and morphology of the rGO can vary.  Some preparation methods  of reduced graphene oxide include: treating graphene oxide with hydrazine hydrate at 100°C for 24 hours exposure to h...
