Titanium Boride . Boron Carbide Nanoparticles

Nano Scale (nm) TiB₂ B₄C

Titanium Boride . Boron Carbide Nanoparticles, nanodots or nanopowder are black spherical high surface area particles. Nanoscale Titanium Boride . Boron Carbide Particles are typically 10 - 100 nanometers (nm) with specific surface area (SSA) in the 100 - 130 m 2 /g range. Nano Titanium Boride . Boron Carbide Particles are also available in passivated and ultra high purity and high purity and coated and dispersed forms. They are also available as a nanofluid through the AE Nanofluid production group. Nanofluids are generally defined as suspended nanoparticles in solution either using surfactant or surface charge technology. Nanofluid dispersion and coating selection technical guidance is also available. Other nanostructures include nanorods, nanowhiskers, nanohorns, nanopyramids and other nanocomposites. Surface functionalized nanoparticles allow for the particles to be preferentially adsorbed at the surface interface using chemically bound polymers. Development research is underway in Nano Electronics and Photonics materials, such as MEMS and NEMS, Bio Nano Materials, such as Biomarkers, Bio Diagnostics & Bio Sensors, and Related Nano Materials, for use in Polymers, Textiles, Fuel Cell Layers, Composites and Solar Energy materials. Nanopowders are analyzed for chemical composition by ICP, particle size distribution (PSD) by laser diffraction, and for Specific Surface Area (SSA) by BET multi-point correlation techniques. Novel nanotechnology applications also include Quantum Dots. High surface areas can also be achieved using solutions and using thin film by sputtering targets and evaporation technology using pellets, rod and foil. Research into applications for Titanium Boride . Boron Carbide nanocrystals includes use in hard thin films, and to improve hardness in alloys, ceramics and for use in automotive, aerospace and industrial sectors , and in other coatings, plastics, and surface treatments . Titanium Boride . Boron Carbide Nano Particles are generally immediately available in most volumes. Additional technical, research and safety (MSDS) information is available as is a Reference Calculator for converting relevant units of measurement.

Titanium is a Block D, Group 4, Period 4 element. The electronic configuration is [Ar] 3d² 4s². In its elemental form titanium's CAS number is 7440-32-6. The titanium atom has a radius of 144.8.pm and it's Van der Waals radius is 200.pm. In its metallic form it is not only very strong and light weight, but also highly resistant to corrosion. Thus it can be found in numerous aerospace and military applications. In its oxide form it used in low grades to produce a white pigment. Titanium is the bases for numerous commercially essential comoound groups, such as barium titanates in electronic and di-electric formulations and in crystal growth for ruby and sapphire lasers.
