Carbon nanotubes (CNTs), as typical one-dimensional nanomaterials, have shown great potential for applications in various fields such as energy storage, composite materials, biomedical, electronic devices, etc. due to their excellent mechanical properties (100 times higher than steel), outstanding conductivity, excellent thermal properties, and unique optical properties. However, the strong van de...

The development of conductive pastes began in the 1950s. In 1954, British scholar C.F. Powell first reported the method of preparing conductive pastes by suspending silver particles in organic solvents, laying the technical foundation. Subsequently, in the 1960s and 1970s, with the rise of thick film hybrid integrated circuits, precious metal conductive pastes such as silver paste and gold paste g...

Powder surface modification changes the surface state of particles through physical or chemical means, with the core being to break the agglomeration force between particles. When the particle size of the powder decreases to the micrometer or nanometer level, the surface energy sharply increases, and van der Waals forces, hydrogen bonds, and other gravitational forces cause the particles to sponta...

XRD is an important means of characterizing phases. Strictly speaking, it can determine the existence of a certain phase, but cannot determine the absence of a certain phase, making it easier to distinguish between truth and falsehood. So, what is its detection limit? Firstly, we must emphasize that XRD analysis of elemental content is very inaccurate. If we have to say what the detection limit is...

1.Characterization of particle size and distribution Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS): DLS is one of the most commonly used techniques for measuring the particle size and distribution of nanoparticles in suspensions. It calculates the hydrodynamic diameter of particles by measuring the time-dependent light scattering intensity fluctuations caused by Brownian motion of particles. DLS can also provide...

In transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis, the primary and crucial step in obtaining a high-quality image that can be interpreted reasonably is sample preparation. Inappropriate sample thickness, poor conductivity, or damage introduced during sample preparation can directly lead to abnormal electron beam penetration, image distortion, and even sample scrapping. TEM sample requirements ① T...

With the rapid development of modern industry and technology, different industries have increasingly high performance requirements for powder materials. In addition to having extremely low impurity content, fine particle size, and narrow particle size distribution, powder materials also need to have a certain particle morphology. Spherical powders have been widely used in high-end industries such ...

Although spherical silicon micro powder is spherical and has good fluidity, there are still problems of poor compatibility and difficult dispersion when used as an inorganic filler mixed with organic matrix materials. Therefore, surface modification is necessary to solve these problems. Surface modification of spherical silicon micro powder involves introducing specific functional groups or coatin...

The meanings of metamorphic treatment, grain refinement, and primary phase refinement or morphology change are different, and sometimes the term metamorphic treatment is used to summarize these contents. (1) Deterioration treatment. For simple binary Al Si alloys, such as Z102 containing 11%~13% Si, it is a typical eutectic alloy. Its organization consists of coarse needle shaped (should be layere...
