The term "lotus effect" refers to water repellency and self-cleaning, seen in graphic mode as a drop that is kept on a surface instead of being absorbed. The origin of this expression has to do with a flower, known as “lotus flower”, which is a scientific mystery because it has not been possible to discover why it does not get wet. The hydrophobic characteristic of the lotus flower has been imitated for useful effects of human life, being one of the main tasks of nanotechnology research.L …

Gadolinium Oxide is an inorganic compound having formula as Gd2O3. Gadolinium is most commonly found in nature, as it is part of the rare earth family. In Gd2O3, Gd has a degree of oxidation of three, quite common in the compounds of this element. From this compound, the pure metal can be extracted at a zero-oxidation state. Gadolinium (III) chloride (GdCl3) can also be synthesized from gadolinium oxide. In this form, gadolinium can be used as a contrast element for magnetic resonance ima …

The development of nanotechnology has also increased the growth and development of Nanocalcite, which is an element or material that helps to restore and improve various industrial areas such as pharmaceuticals, dentistry, and more. At this point, it is important to understand the definition and scope of Nanocalcite. It is the term used to describe a chemical compound represented by the formula CaCO³ which comprises three vital elements, that is, carbon, oxygen, and calcium. Star …

Titanium carbide is the binary compound and is an extremely hard refractory ceramic material ( Mohs 9-9.5) similar to tungsten carbide. It is the only carbide in the titanium - carbon system. Like Tungsten Carbide (WC) and Tantalum Carbide (TaC), it is also an important component of cemented carbides used for cutting tools. In addition, titanium carbide is gray in color. The nanoparticles of Titanium Carbide have large surface area and are more effective in terms of pro …

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 …
