Overview of Graphene Water Dispersion

Graphene is a two-dimensional network carbon nanomaterial. All carbon atoms inside the graphene form a unique two-dimensional hexagonal honeycomb lattice structure by sp2 hybridization. This monatomic layer structure makes graphene the thinnest and strongest material in the world. Graphene also has excellent physical and chemical properties, such as mechanical properties, thermal properties, electrical properties, and optical properties. That is why, graphene has prospects for practical application and a wider value. The graphene is also compared with other members of the carbon nanomaterials family, namely one-dimensional carbon nanotubes and zero-dimensional fullerenes.
Recently, graphene is often combined with ceramic, polymer and metal materials to prepare graphene-reinforced composites. And this situation is not only making the composite materials’ physical and chemical properties greatly improved, but also expanding the application of graphene in the field of biosensors, optoelectronic materials, and catalysts. In some applications graphene water dispersion is needed to use and gives better properties to the materials.

Graphene Products

Dispersions of graphene are beneficial for the use of graphene in various industrial applications, such as: use as component or additive of elastomeric compositions for tires. If graphene level is 1–1.5% in the dispersion many superior properties can be achieved like an improved gas barrier effect, with consequent increase of impermeability, causing the tire to deflate more slowly; improvement of the mechanical dynamic properties, in particular rolling resistance; increase of thermal conductivity, useful for heat dissipation; increase of electrical conductivity, useful for the dissipation of electrostatic energy.
If graphene water dispersions are used as additive or component of silicon and paints compositions, increase of electrical conductivity, increase of thermal conductivity for heat dissipation can be obtained to reach conductive compounds; to give anticorrosion and antifouling properties, gas and liquid barrier effect with consequent increase of impermeability.
In textiles if graphene levels reach 40% in water dispersion good electrical conductivity for producing intelligent textiles, good thermal conductivity, liquid barrier effect, flame retardant properties and IR shielding can be obtained.

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...

Rundown about Silicon Oxide Wafer

The main insulating material used in micro-technology is Silicon Dioxide, which in chemical symbols is written as SiO2. In semiconductor technology, SiO2 thin film layers are mainly used as dielectric material film in transistors, capacitors (DRAM) or flash-memories. Silicon Oxide Wafers are produced using crystallization, solid state and other ultra-high purification processes such as sublimation. This process forms a cylindrical ingot, which is then sliced and polished to form wafers. Thermal oxide is a kind of "grown" oxide layer, compared to CVD deposited oxide layer, it has a higher uniformity, and higher dielectric strength, it is an excellent dielectric layer as an insulator . In most silicon- based devices, thermal oxide layer play an important role to pacify the silicon surface to act as doping barriers and as surface dielectrics. The simplest way to produce an insulating silicon oxide layers (SiO2) on silicon wafers is to oxidize silicon with oxygen, which ...
