Molybdenum Nanoparticles/Nanopowder and Applications

General Information about Molybdenum 
                                       
Molybdenum is a chemical element with symbol Mo and atomic number 42. Molybdenum does not occur naturally as a free metal on Earth; it is found only in various oxidation states in minerals. Industrially, molybdenum compounds (about 14% of world production of the element) are used in high-pressure and high-temperature applications as pigments and catalysts.
Molybdenum Nanoparticles/Nanopowder and Their Applications
Molybdenum nanoparticles/nanopowder give very good result in situations where a lubricant needs to withstand high temperatures. Molybdenum nanoparticles/nanopowder are used in steel as anti-corrosive additives, vacuum valves, sintering additives, hard alloys and cutting tools. In the manufacture of high pressure vacuum tubes, heat tubes, X-Ray tubes Molybdenum Nanoparticles/Nanopowder can be useful. Molybdenum nanoparticles/nanopowder are well-known as a coating of choice in high-friction, heavy load environments, due to the extreme lubrication they offer. Molybdenum nanoparticles/nanopowder offer a simple, effective way to apply such coatings with extreme precision.

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 that i

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.
