Nanotubes as Natural Means for Reinforcing Concrete
Concrete, the second most important material in
construction after water, is advantageous however; its low tensile strength
requires reinforcement. Nanotubes are found to be promising natural materials
for the reinforcement of concrete at nano scales. IntroductionDifferent nanotubes suggested
as a natural means for reinforcing concrete are carbon nanotubes, clay
nanotubes, and cementitious nanotubes. The importance of concrete in the construction sector is undeniable due to i

Top-Down Nanoparticle Synthesis
Nanotechnology
involves the study, imaging, measuring, modeling, or manipulation of matter at
scales falling in the range of 1–100 nanometers (nm). It is a highly
multidisciplinary field, drawing from fields such as chemistry, materials
science, colloidal science, applied physics, engineering, and biology. IntroductionIn a
relatively short span of about 30 years of research, nanotechnology is already
having an impact on society and several industrial sectors, and such impact will

Gold Nanostars and Their Applications
Gold Nanostars are anisotropic gold
nanoparticles. Their structure is composed of a core and several sharp
branches. The unique characteristics of gold nanostars originate from these
branches and its interaction with the core. The most attractive features of
gold nanostars are the LSPR, SERS activity, and catalytic activity. Gold
nanostars are used in catalysis, nanosensing assays, thermal therapy, and drug
delivery applications. IntroductionThe improvements in nanotechnology hav

Fuel Cells Development with Nanotechnology
Fuel cell is basically an electrochemical cell capable of converting
the chemical energy resulting from a chemical reaction of hydrogen and oxygen
as the oxidizing agent into electricity in a process called redox. Generally,
fuel cells differ from most of the available batteries due to taking the
advantage of a continuous source of fuel and oxygen in order to maintain a
chemical reaction. Discover the energy solutions of the future with Nanografi's revolutionary nanomaterials

What is the Difference Between Silicon-on-Insulator Wafers and Czochralski Silicon (Cz-Si) Wafers?
Generally, silicon-on-insulator is a single-crystalline layer as
thin as 10 nm sitting on an insulating material such as silicon oxide with
extensive applications in high-speed integrated circuits, consumer electronics,
especially mobile wireless applications and other hand-held devices. Silicon is
known to be used predominantly as a considerably abundant semiconductor
material on earth crust (nearly 28%) and is relatively easy
to be converted into highly pure singular crystalline mat
