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 - Application Fields 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 heaters a…
What are surfactants, and how do they work? Surfactants belong to a group that lowers the surface tension on a liquid. Surfactants are a class of compounds that reduce the surface tension of a liquid. They can be adsorbed onto gas-liquid or fluid-liq…
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. If you encounter different "problem" types of cem…
Anode materials for lithium batteries Materials that store and release Lithium ions are a vital part of the lithium battery. The anode material is responsible for absorbing lithium ions during the charging of lithium batteries and releasing them bac…
Spherical Tungsten Particles: 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 Hard a…
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 ensuring construction quality and improving the performance of the concrete. Listed below are so…
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 boron-containing glasses and washing powders on the market. They contain boric acid in the glass to prevent…
The titanium hydride used in powder metallurgy and metal-ceramic sealing is also used to provide titanium for the alloy powder. Titanium Hydride is brittle. It can therefore be used for powdered titanium. The hydride is also used to weld. Thermal…
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). It can be found in many industrial app…
