Analyzed: Silicon Dioxide
Silicon dioxide
(SiO2), commonly called silica, is a compound formed by a molecule
of silicon and two of oxygen, linked by a covalent bond. It is usually white or
colorless and is not soluble in water or ethanol. By associating with minerals
it forms the family of silicates. It appears as a compound in the sand and is
one of the components of quartz. Silicon dioxide has several industrial
applications that include its use as an additive in the food industry, it
appears in the list of food

Analyzed: Titanium Oxide
Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) is an inorganic compound
that exists in solid form with three different structures. The most important
use of titanium oxide is as a white pigment in a wide variety of products,
which include paints, lacquers, adhesives, plastics, paper, and printing inks.
This is due to its high refractive index and chemical inertia. In this article,
we will study the properties, structure, production methods, and applications
of Titanium Dioxide in detail.IntroductionTitanium oxi

Synthesis, Properties and Applications of Quantum Dots
Quantum dots (QDs) are generally fluorescent semiconductor
nanoparticles sized less than 20 nm with each particle containing some 200 to
1000 atoms. Depending on a phenomenon called “quantum confinement” and their
surface to volume ratio, quantum dots adopt particular electronic and optical
properties. Vahid Javan KouzegaranAnalytical Chemist (Ph.D.) / Nanografi Nano TechnologyIntroductionQuantum dots structure is made of two main parts as a core which is
protected by a shell. The

Framed: Nanoparticles in Paints
The paint industry has also taken
full advantage of nanotechnology and has incorporated it to build more
efficient, durable, anti-corrosive, adhesive, and super flexible paints. With
the help of nanomaterials, the paints with anticorrosive, insect’s killer, self-cleaning
effects have come into existence. Therefore, this article aims to discuss such
paints and their role in detail.
Background
The anticorrosive protection by
means of organic coatings (anticorrosive paints) acts by diffe
