Titanium carbide (TiC) is an extremely hard refractory ceramic, the only carbide in the titanium–carbon system, with a hardness of 9 to 9.5 on the Mohs scale that rivals tungsten carbide. In nanoparticle form, below 100 nanometers, its large specific surface area and high purity make it more reactive and more effective across coatings, cutting tools, and emerging energy and electronics applications. This guide explains what titanium carbide nanoparticles are, their structure and propertie …

In simple terms, nanoparticles are basically elements within the size of 1-100 nanometers (nm), and which are surrounded by an interfacial layer. The aforementioned layer forms a crucial aspect of the scale matter with a major impact on all its properties. The layer basically comprises ions, organic and inorganic elements. In the scientific field, nanoparticles are the most sought-after areas as they form a wide gap between large materials and molecular substances. Generally, nanoparticles …

Tungsten is a matte silver-colored metal with the highest melting point of pure metals. Tungsten is more resistant to breakage than diamond and is much harder than steel. It is indicated by the symbol W and has an atomic number of -74. In Mendeleev's periodic table, it is in the sixth group, it has similar properties with the "neighbors" – molybdenum and chromium. It has the unique properties of refractory metal - its strength and ability to withstand high temperatures - that make it ideal …

Shape memory polymers (SMPs) are smart materials that can be deformed into a temporary shape and then return to their original, "permanent" shape when triggered by an external stimulus, most commonly heat, but also light, moisture, electric current, or magnetic fields. Unlike shape memory alloys such as Nitinol, which rely on a metallic crystal-phase transformation, SMPs achieve this effect through their polymer network structure, which makes them lighter, cheaper to process, and capable of much …

Silicon dioxide (SiO2) is a compound of silicon and oxygen, commonly called silica and the elements are linked by the covalent bond. It is one of the components of the sand and can be found naturally in Quartz. It is usually white or colorless and is not soluble in water or ethanol. By associating with minerals, it forms the silicate family. Silicon dioxide (SiO2) has several industrial applications such as an additive in the food industry. Its function is to act as an anti-binder, a …
