Concrete is a modern material that uses a variety of chemical additives, each with their own unique characteristics. These additives play a vital role in improving the performance of concrete and maintaining its quality. Here are a few chemical addit…
Scientific community has long been fascinated by boron nitride due to its unique properties: sturdy, ultra-thin transparent, insulating and lightweight. The boron is a material that can be used by a wide range of researchers. According to researcher…
Boron has been a major name in the world of chemistry. There have been two Nobel Prizes in Chemistry for the work done on boron. There are a few heat-resistant products on the market that have added boric acids to common glass. This means the glas…
Boron carbide is also known as black Diamond. It has a molecular structure of B4C. The powder is typically grayish. It is one the three hardest materials known (the other two being diamond and cubic boronnitride), which are used in many industrial ap…
In recent years, transition metal dichalcogenide was one of the key two-dimensional materials for quantum functional applications. These materials have a honeycomb like graphene but have spin-orbit coupling that allows them to exhibit novel propertie…
GaN is a semiconductor material of third generation with a large forbidden-band width. It has superior properties compared to first-generation Si or second-generation GaAs. GaN devices, due to the large band gaps and high thermal conductivity of GaN…
Modern industry cannot function without ultrafine alumina. Alumina powders with ultrafine or fine grain have a different surface electronic structure, and the crystal structure has also changed. This leads to surface effects, and smaller sizes, that…
What is aluminium nitride (AlN)?Aluminum nitride (a covalent-bond compound) is a white, grayish, or white-gray atomic crystal that belongs to a diamond like nitride. Aluminum nitride formula AlN. Aluminum nitride, which is metal-treated, can replace…
Flexible electronics can benefit from ultra-thin materials of atomic thickness, which are used for manufacturing microprocessors. Recent breakthroughs have been made in this area by researchers at the Vienna University of Technology, Vienna, and the…
What is Alumina? Alumina. Chemical formula Al2O3. The ionic crystals are used to manufacture refractory materials. They have a melting and boiling point at high temperatures of 2054 deg C. Diaspore and bauxite (Al2O3*3H2O), which are both mineral…
In the absence of new countries that can replace the decrease in aluminum demand caused by China's slowdown, we expect the alumina sector to enjoy a period of high profitability. Only the complete utilization of red clay, also known as the global pr…
Alumina fibres have lower heat conductivity, heat shrinkage, and heat capacity. The temperature of long-term usage is higher than that of ordinary aluminum silicate (1000 1100 degC). It can be used with acidic atmosphere, oxidizing environment, reduc…
SLS Nylon Powder PrintingNylon sintering (selective laser sintering) is a project that uses spread powder sticks to tile a thick layer of powder materials, such as 3D printed metal powders, on parts. It is heated below the powder melting temperature…
What is Nitinol alloy? While the global population continues to grow, many countries have improved their living standards and life expectancies. The number of diseases that are related to lifestyle, such as those that cause heart attacks and other il…
Nanomaterials are used in many industries, from health care and cosmetics to environmental protection and air purification.…
