Applications of Fullerenes | C60, C70 and Beyond
The fullerenes are constituted by a network formed by 12 pentagons and 20 hexagons, closing the sphere. Each carbon of a fullerene is sp hybridized in the form of a sigma bond (simple bond) with three other carbon atoms, subtracting one electron from each carbon.
The most important property of Fullerenes is its high symmetry. In this one, there are 120 symmetry operations, such as axis rotations or reflections in the plane. This makes the C60 molecule the most symmetrical molecule since it has t

Antibacterial Nanopowder: Types, Content, Price, Uses
The development
of Antibacterial Nanopowder has been approached by different areas of science
as a possible solution to a wide variety of pathologies (meningitis,
encephalitis, bacteremia and febrile gastroenteritis) associated with bacterial
colonization on surfaces of medical devices, hospital garments and even at the
level of infrastructure. Although human mortality from nosocomial infections
has decreased over the last century, this is a public health problem that
requires more attent

Military Applications of Graphene
Nanotechnology, apart from its
multiple applications, is beginning to be used for the benefit of the arms
industry. This raises the possibility of terribly effective and devastating new
weapons. Thanks to graphene and nanotechnology, rifles of all kinds can be
manufactured. Integrated computers would allow the remote control of any weapon
as well as a more compact assisted operation would facilitate better robotics.
In addition, these materials would be manufactured with a minimum amount o

Nanoclay: Properties, Production, Applications
Nanoclay
is a component composed of phyllosilicates, which are compounds based on the
elements of oxygen, silicon, and other components and are degraded from natural
sources and pretreated chemically. After further processing steps, Nanoclay is used
in different products. Due to their layered structure, they can swell or shrink
as wateraccumulates or is withdrawn between layers. It is possible to increase
the volume of nanoclay up to six times by water absorption and form stable gels.
Nan

Use of Graphene in Construction
Graphene is a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a
two-dimensional honeycomb lattice. This wonder material boasts remarkable
properties, including unparalleled strength, electrical conductivity, and
flexibility. In construction, graphene's superior qualities are harnessed
to enhance building materials like concrete and steel. Its integration
increases tensile strength, reduces weight, and offers better corrosion
resistance. Moreover, graphene-infused coatings can provide surface
