Carbon Nanofibers and Their Applications

Carbon nanofibers are cylindrical nanostructures with graphene layers arranged as stacked cones, cups or plates.  Carbon NanoFibers (Purity 96%, Outside Diameter: 190-590nm)  could be defined as sp 2 -based linear filaments with diameter of ca. 100 nm that are characterized by flexibility and their aspect ratio. Materials in a form of fiber are of great practical and scientific importance. The combination of high specific area, flexibility, and high mechanical strength allow nanofibers to be used in our daily life as well as in fabricating tough composites for vehicles and aerospace. As we mentioned  Carbon NanoFibers  can be used in various areas. Now let's check some examples of these areas. For example their remarkable properties, combined with the unique low temperature deterministic growth process makes carbon nanofibers very suitable for semiconductor packaging applications as well as building advanced capacitors. Due to their metallic nature carbon nanofi...

Carbon Nanotubes and Nanofibers in Water Purification

Image Retriewed From: http://www.farmaceuticas.com.br/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/ecaw-biocida-agua.jpg Water purification  is a main process of removing undesirable materials, chemicals, biological contaminants, suspended solids and gases from contaminated water. The main aim is to produce water fit for a specific purpose. Most water is disinfected for human consumption ( drinking water ), but water purification may also be designed for a variety of other purposes, including fulfilling the requirements of medical, pharmacological, chemical and industrial applications. Substances that are removed during the process include parasites (such as Giardia or Cryptosporidium), bacteria, algae, viruses, fungi, minerals (including toxic metals such as Lead, Copper etc.), and man-made chemical pollutants. Many contaminants can be dangerous—but depending on the quality standards, others are removed to improve the water's smell, taste, and appearance. Actually there are sev...
