What to buy Carbon Nanotubes! How much?

What to buy Carbon Nanotubes! How much?



Author(s)  : Muhammad Musaddique Ali Rafique, Javed Iqbal

Gone are the days when Carbon Nanotubes were not available in abundance.

Now unique catalysts and advanced chemical engineering processes have made it possible to produce carbon nanotubes in large quantities. Unique process (CoMOCat®) for the large scale catalytic chemical vapor deposition of carbon nanotubes is now producing carbon nanotubes in large quantities.

In Muhammad Musaddique Ali Rafique’ research review from Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering at University of Engineering and Technology, published in Journal of Encapsulation and Adsorption SciencesVol. 1 No. 2, 2011 Scientific Research Publishing. His team reviewed production processes for producing carbon nanotunes. Physical Vapor depositions, Chemical Vapor deposition have been reviwed in extensive detail and a unique process named catalytic chemical vapor deposition has been found to be a large scale process for mass production of single wall carbon nanotubes. Owing to its high production rate, high yield, high purity, no post treatment, continuous nature, cheap raw material usage and low per unit cost this process by bar outperforms its competitive. Based on this technology an Oklahoma based company South West Nanotechnologies, SWeNT is already producing carbon nanotubes on large scale.

Now, there is no need to worry about readymade supply of carbon nanotubes. They are not only available for laboratory needs but also available for large scale usages such as in composites, thermal application, sensors etc.

Incorporation of High-Altitude Balloon Experiment in High School Science Classrooms

High-altitude balloon is a balloon, filled usually with helium or hydrogen that ascends into an area called “near space” or stratosphere. The most common type of high-altitude balloons are weather balloons. Other purposes include use as a platform for experiments in the upper atmosphere. Modern balloons generally contain electronic equipment such as radio transmitters, cameras, or satellite navigation systems, such as GPS receivers. The mission of the High-Altitude Balloon Experiment (HABE) is to acquire supporting data, validate enabling technologies, and resolve critical acquisition, tracking, and pointing (ATP) and fire control issues in support of future space-based precision pointing experiments. The use of high-altitude balloons offers a relatively low-cost, low-vibration test platform, a recoverable and reusable payload, worldwide launch capability, and a 'near- space' emulation of the future space systems operational scenarios. More recently, several university...

Electron Spin and Proton Spin in the Hydrogen and Hydrogen-Like Atomic Systems

Read full paper at: http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=52202#.VIj7tMnQrzE Author(s) Stanisław Olszewski * Affiliation(s) Institute of Physical Chemistry, Polish Academy of Sciences, Warsaw, Poland . ABSTRACT The mechanical angular momentum and magnetic moment of the electron and proton spin have been calculated semiclassically with the aid of the uncertainty principle for energy and time. The spin effects of both kinds of the elementary particles can be expressed in terms of similar formulae. The quantization of the spin motion has been done on the basis of the old quantum theory. It gives a quantum number n = 1/2 as the index of the spin state acceptable for both the electron and proton ...

Effects of Karate Training on Basic Motor Abilities of Primary School Children

“You never attack first in karate” might be the best conclusion of karate, which is a martial art practiced typically without weapons. It’s reported that karate has a long history for several hundred years, but the modern karate was spread to the whole Japan from Okinawa in the early part of 20th century. Now it has become one of the most widely practiced martial art forms in the world. Usually, it’s divided into Kihon, Kata and Kumite. As for the beginners, Kihon is more suitable for them because it involves basic techniques. Due to karate consists of dynamic offensive and defensive techniques using all parts of the body to their maximum advantage, the best understanding of true karate practice is the perfection of oneself through the perfection of the art. It not only develops coordination, quickens reflexes, and builds stamina, but also develops composure, a clearer thought process, deeper insight into one’s mental capabilities, and more self-confidence. So many researchers stu...
