What is MAX phase materials? MAX phase materials are novel layered carbon-nitride inorganic non-metallic materials with the electrical and thermal conductive qualities of metals, consisting of three elements with the molecular formula Mn+1AXn (n=…
Concrete, an ordinary building material, has profound effects on our daily lives. Concrete is widely used for a variety of buildings and projects - from skyscrapers and bridges to roads and public facilities, to home improvement. Technically, it is d…
Tungsten Rods in Various Applications The tungsten bar is a rod shaped material, which has many benefits, such as its high density, thermal conductivity, corrosion resistance, etc. It is widely employed in the manufacture of high-temperature heater…
The water-reducing agent should be used with concrete admixture, which will reflect the water-reducing effect. Cement quality is therefore a direct factor of the actual effect of water-reducing agent. When dealing with different "problem" types of ce…
Anode materials for lithium batteries Materials that store and release Lithium ions are an essential part of the lithium battery. The anode material is responsible for accepting the lithium ions released by the positive battery electrode during char…
Spherical tungsten powder has many applications. The spherical powder of tungsten is widely used as a powder metalurgical material in many industries. Following are the main areas where spherical-tungsten powder is used: Hard alloy manufacturing…
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 as well as ensuring its quality. Here are some of the most…
What are surfactants, and how do they work? Surfactants belong to a class that reduces surface tension. They can be adsorbed onto gas-liquid or fluid-liquid interfaces and change the properties, such as stability, wettability (wettability), viscosity…
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…
The titanium hydride used in powder metallurgy and metal-ceramic sealing is also used to provide titanium for the alloy powder. Titanium Hydride is very fragile and can be used for powdered titanium. The hydride is also used to weld. Thermal decom…
Boron carbide is also known as black Diamond. It has a molecular formula 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 appl…
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…
