About Stealth Materials and Related Nano Materials

Stealth materials, also known as absorbing materials, refer to a type of electromagnetic material that can absorb and attenuate incident electromagnetic waves, convert electromagnetic energy into heat energy, and consume it. They are widely used in military, aerospace, and security fields to reduce the detectability of targets in equipment such as electromagnetic wave detectors, radar systems, and infrared sensors.

 

The principle of stealth materials mainly includes two aspects:

 

Absorption: Stealth materials have the characteristic of highly absorbing electromagnetic waves, which can absorb most or specific wavelengths of light within the spectral range, thereby reducing reflection and scattering. This absorption characteristic can be achieved through appropriate material selection and design, such as using composite materials with absorbing agents or absorbing coatings.

 

Scattering: Stealth materials can change the propagation path of electromagnetic waves by causing them to scatter or refract in different directions, thereby reducing the echo signal of the target. This principle can be achieved through the design of nanostructures, microstructures, or multi-layer materials to alter the interaction between electromagnetic waves and materials.

 

The common nano powder used for stealth applications include iron oxide, nano silver, and so on. They have excellent absorption and scattering characteristics, effectively weaken or shield the reflection and echo signals of electromagnetic waves, and improve the stealth performance of targets. The following are some common applications of nano powders in stealth technology:

 

  1. Iron oxide nano powder: Iron oxide nano powder has excellent wave absorption performance, can absorb and scatter electromagnetic waves, and achieve stealth effect within a certain range.

 

  1. Carbon nanotubes: Carbon nanotubes have high conductivity and good absorption properties, which can absorb and dissipate electromagnetic waves over a wide frequency range. They are used to prepare composite materials with good stealth properties.

 

  1. Graphene: As a two-dimensional material with a single layer of carbon atoms, graphene has excellent electron transfer and absorption properties and can be used to prepare efficient invisible coatings or composite materials.

 

  1. Silver nanoparticles: Silver nanoparticles exhibit excellent absorption performance in the visible light range, capable of absorbing, scattering, or reflecting electromagnetic waves, achieving stealth effects.

Nano Materials applied in flexible screens

The beauty of flexibility is everywhere. The development of flexible screens can be applied to all walks of life, make life more concise and convenient. Here are some nano materials that can be used for flexible screens:

ITO nanopowder

ITO (tin oxidation) transparent conductive film has become the most important touch layer material for display screens such as non -curved LCD and OLED due to many reasons such as good light transmission, low thickness, excellent hardness and electrical conductivity, and mature production process. However, ITO is a kind of crispy material, not suitable for the flexible touch layer that can be curved or even bent at will, and the cost is high.

Nano graphene, carbon nanotubes, silver nanowires, etc.

At present, the main substitutes for ITO materials are: nano graphene, carbon nanotubes, silver nano wires, and metal grids. Among them, nano graphene and carbon nanotubes are very good substitutes for ITO in terms of material itself. But graphene is still a bit far from mass production. The film made of nano -carbon tube is not as good as ITO in conductivity. Therefore, from the perspective of technology and market, metal grids and nano -silver technology will be the protagonist of recent development.

The metal grid technology mentioned here is the conductive metal mesh formed by using metal conductive materials such as silver and copper or oxides on PET and other thin film substrates. Its main advantage is that the cost of raw materials is low and good for winding. However, due to the problem of Morri interference ripples caused by good rate, yield and high -end high pixels, it is more suitable for applications with low resolution and relatively long -distance use. Desktop all -in -one machines, laptops and television products.

Nano -silver wire technology refers to applying nano -silver wire ink materials to PET or glass substrates, and then uses Laser lithography technology to portray the nano -level conductive network. Its main advantages are high rates, small line width, good conductivity and resistance, and disadvantages are high costs. And compared to metal grids, nano -silver materials have a small curvature radius, and the resistance changing rate of resistance during bending is small, plus the reasons for the width, so it is more suitable for high -resolution such as mobile phones, smart watches and bracelets. Use in close range scenes.

Chinese Scientists Have Made Important Breakthroughs in The Field of Super-strong Carbon Nanotube Fibers

Carbon nanotubes are considered to be one of the strongest materials discovered by humans, with a Young’s modulus of over 1 TPa and a tensile strength of over 100 GPa (the specific strength is as high as 62.5 GPa/(g/cm3). ), more than 10 times stronger than T1000 carbon fiber. Theoretical calculations show that carbon nanotubes are currently the only material that has the potential to help us realize our dream of a space elevator.

How to maintain the excellent mechanical properties of a single carbon nanotube after assembling is the first problem that must be solved in the preparation of super strong fibers. However, the reported strength of carbon nanotube fibers is only 0.5–8.8 GPa, which is far lower than the theoretical strength of carbon nanotubes (>100 GPa). The main reason is that the carbon nanotubes that form fibers are short in length, and the units overlap each other by van der Waals force, which easily slips each other under the action of tension, and cannot fully utilize the inherent high strength of carbon nanotubes. In addition, structural defects and disordered orientations in carbon nanotubes will lead to the decrease of fiber strength. In contrast, ultra-long carbon nanotubes have lengths of centimeters or even decimeters and have perfect structures, consistent orientations, and mechanical properties close to the theoretical limit, which have great advantages in the preparation of ultra-strong fibers.

With the support of the national key R&D program “Nanotechnology”, Professor Wei Fei’s team of Tsinghua University and Professor Li Xide’s team have made a breakthrough in the field of super-strength carbon nanotube fibers. Preparation of ultralong carbon nanotube bundles for theoretical strength. By adopting the method of in-situ airflow focusing, the research team controllably prepared centimeter-scale continuous ultra-long carbon nanotube bundles with definite composition, perfect structure and parallel arrangement, ingeniously avoiding the above-mentioned limiting factors. By preparing ultralong carbon nanotube bundles containing different numbers of units, quantitatively analyzing the effects of their composition and structure on the mechanical properties of ultralong carbon nanotube bundles, a definite physical/mathematical model was established. A “synchronized relaxation” strategy is proposed to release the initial stress of carbon nanotubes in the tube bundle through nanomanipulation, so that it is in a narrow distribution range, and then the tensile strength of the carbon nanotube bundle can be increased to 80 GPa. The above is close to the tensile strength of a single carbon nanotube. The reported tensile strength of ultralong carbon nanotube bundles is superior to all other fiber materials found so far. This work reveals the bright prospect of ultra-long carbon nanotubes for the manufacture of super-strong fibers, and points out the direction and method for the development of new super-strong fibers.

Graphene oxide for heavy metal pollution control

Heavy metals generally refer to more than 60 elements with a density of more than 4 or 45 elements with a density of more than 5. However, because the toxicity of different heavy metals in water and soil is very different, in the field of environmental science, people usually pay attention to vanadium, chromium and nickel. , cobalt, copper, zinc, cadmium, tin, mercury, lead and other metal ions. Heavy metal ions can accumulate in the human body and lead to poisoning, cancer and damage to the nervous system, so it is particularly important to do a good job of heavy metal pollution control.

Graphene oxide  is a carbon nano material prepared from natural graphite with a structure similar to carbon nanotubes. Compared with the adsorption capacity of activated carbon, carbon nanotubes and graphene materials for low-concentration lead-containing wastewater, the adsorption capacity of graphene oxide for lead is as high as 800 mg/g, which is much higher than that of activated carbon, which is 60 to 120 mg/g. It has extremely strong regeneration capacity, and the adsorption capacity drops only 5 to 10% after repeated adsorption/elution cycles.

Why does graphene oxide have such a strong heavy metal adsorption capacity? There are two reasons: one is that graphene oxide is a two-dimensional nano material with a thickness of one atomic layer, and its specific surface area can theoretically reach 2600 square meters/g, which is the largest among all carbon nano materials; During the preparation process, a large number of active groups such as carboxyl group, carbonyl group, hydroxyl group, epoxy group, etc. are formed on its surface. Therefore, graphene oxide has the most basic elements required for an excellent adsorbent: a sufficiently large specific surface area and a sufficiently high density of surface functional groups.

The use of graphene oxide material can reduce the discharge concentration of lead-containing wastewater in the lead-acid battery industry from the current 100-1000ppb to 1-10ppb, increase the lead recovery rate to 95%-99%, and reduce the total environmental discharge of lead by 90% compared with the existing technology. %. The achievement can be effectively extended to other heavy metal pollution systems such as cadmium, nickel, arsenic, copper, chromium, and radioactive elements, and has considerable economic and social benefits. https://www.hwnanomaterial.com/

3 Types Of Nano Materials Used In Absorbing Materials

The so-called absorbing materials refer to a class of materials that can absorb or greatly weaken the electromagnetic wave energy received by its surface, thereby reducing the interference of electromagnetic waves.

In engineering applications, they require the absorbing material to have a high absorption rate of electromagnetic waves in a wide frequency band, they also require to have light weight, temperature resistance, moisture resistance, corrosion resistance and other properties.

Three commonly used nano materials for absorbing materials are as follows:
1. Carbon series nano materials: nano graphene, carbon nanotubes, etc.

Carbon nanotubes(CNTs) show excellent absorbing properties, and at the same time have the characteristics of light weight, good compatibility, and wide absorbing frequency band. They are the most potential absorbing materials of the new generation.

2. Iron series nanomaterials: nano iron(Fe) powder, nano iron oxide, etc.
Nano metals and alloys are mainly used as wave absorbers in a multi-phase composite way, mostly Fe, Co, Ni and other nano metals and alloy powders, and their wave-absorbing properties are better than single-phase nano metal powders.

3. Ceramic series nanomaterials. Such as silicon carbide whiskers, nano silicon carbide particles, nano silicon nitride, and so on.
Silicon carbide(SiC) has been studied a lot as an absorbent. Silicon carbide not only has certain wave absorbing properties, but also can weaken the infrared signal of the engine, and has the advantages of high temperature resistance, low relative density, good toughness, high strength and high resistivity. SiC is one of the rapidly developing absorbents abroad. The absorption band of nano silicon carbide is wider, and it has a good absorption effect on the millimeter and centimeter bands.

In the increasingly important stealth and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) technology, the role and status of electromagnetic wave absorbing materials are very prominent. So far, nano-wave absorbing materials mainly work in two aspects: civil and military.

In civilian use, nano-wave absorbing materials are mainly used in human body protection. Due to the application of high-power radar, communication machine, microwave heating and other equipment, preventing electromagnetic radiation or leakage and protecting the health of operators is a new and complex topic, and absorbing materials can achieve this purpose. In addition, today’s household appliances generally have electromagnetic radiation problems, which can also be effectively suppressed by rational use of absorbing materials and their components. .

In the military, it is mainly used in radar shadow technology. Coating absorbing materials on various weapons equipment and military facilities such as aircraft, missiles, tanks, ships, warehouses, etc. can absorb reconnaissance radio waves and attenuate reflected signals, thereby breaking through the defense area of enemy radar. This is a kind of anti-radar reconnaissance, a powerful means of reducing the exposure of weapon systems to infrared-guided missiles and laser weapons.

Nano absorbing materials have the characteristics of light weight, wide frequency bandwidth and good performance, and have a wide range of applications. In the case of the same material, nano size materials are obviously better and can meet the requirements of the development of the times for absorbing materials. It is foreseeable that nano absorbing materials will play a huge role in thermal insulation and energy saving, environmental protection, human protection, and military stealth technology in the future.

Nano materials in concrete

Application of nanotechnology in concrete

Concrete is the basic building material and widely used in a variety of buildings and structures. Since the 21st century, concrete engineering is upsizing, the engineering environment becomes complicated, and the ever-expanding application fields, people have put forward higher requirements for concrete materials. Nanotechnology can improve the performance of concrete and greatly expand the application.

Nanomaterials can effectively improve the performance of concrete

1. Nano silica/SiO2
Nano SiO2 powder is a superfine powder with silicon or silicone chloride hydrolyzed to form hydroxyl groups on the surface. In the field of cement concrete, nano silica can increase the strength and durability of concrete due to its strong pozzolanic activity, micro-aggregate filling effect and nucleation.

2. Carbon nanotubes
The carbon nanotubes are tubular, light in weight, and the hexagonal structure is perfectly connected, which is a good high-strength fiber material. The proper amount of carbon nanotube powder into the cement can effectively improve the pore structure and microcracks of the material, and play a bridging role, thereby improving the mechanical properties of the cement substrate. get details about carbon nanotubes price from https://www.hwnanomaterial.com/.

3. Nano calcium carbonate
Nano CaCO3 is a low-activity mineral micropowder material with a cost of about one-tenth that of nano-SiO2. After being doped with nano calcium carbonate powder, under the combined action of micro-aggregate effect and crystal nucleus effect, the bulk density is increased, which helps to improve the flexural and compressive strength. The nucleation of nano-calcium carbonate can refine the crystal form, improve the interface structure and improve the durability of concrete.

4. Nano carbon fiber
Nano-carbon fiber is a novel nano-carbon material which is formed by the rolling of a layered graphite sheet. Compared with carbon nanotubes, it has a relatively low cost and has a great advantage in production. Study found that the addition of nano-carbon fiber not only makes the concrete have excellent pressure-sensitive properties, but also improves its mechanical properties.

Nanotechnology expands the application of concrete
1. Concrete that absorbs electromagnetic waves
2. Purifying air concrete

Carbon nanotubes are used in batteries

Lithium iron phosphate power cell is the most potential lithium-ion power battery for electric vehicles in the market, which has the advantages of good safety, long cycle life, and high energy density. However, lithium iron phosphate has poor electrical conductivity and conductive agent must be added to improve its conductivity. Most commonly used conductive agents are carbon black and graphite, which is cheap. However, in the process of multiple charging and discharging, the expansion and contraction of graphite materials reduces the contact between graphite particles, increases the gap, and even separates from the collector fluid and no longer participates in the electrode reaction. Therefore, the choice of conductive agent has an important role in improving battery performance.
At present, carbon nanotubes(CNTs) have gained wide attention in the application of conductive agents due to their excellent physical and chemical properties. The conductive mechanism of carbon nanotubes is that because they belong to one-dimensional nanomaterials, the length-diameter ratio is relatively large, which is good for the formation of conductive networks, and can improve the bonding between active materials and their collective flow, also it play the role as a physical adhesive. At the same time, it has excellent mechanical properties and chemical inertia, and it also has good thermal conductivity. It can improve the specific capacity and cycle life of the battery and improve the high temperature performance. It is an ideal new type of conductive material for lithium ion batteries.
In the experiment, multi-wall carbon nanotubes were applied to the positive and negative poles of lithium iron phosphate batteries respectively, and different tired batteries were prepared. The conventional performance and doubling rate were tested, and they were compared with the cores prepared by ordinary conductive carbon black. The test results show that, The electric core of high-conductive multi-wall carbon nanotubes added to the carburetor nanotubes has better conventional performance and double discharge performance than the conventional core, and the double discharge effect of both positive and negative poles is the best, followed by the addition of negative poles. The addition of MWCNTs to the negative electrode also shows the same situation. After the negative electrode capacity increases, it can embed more lithium ions when charging, which is conducive to the increase of discharge capacity, and because multi-walled carbon nanotubes have better electronic transport capabilities. In addition, more continuous conductive networks are formed in the click, which reduces the number of active substance particles encouraged. Also, the positive pole is added. The carbon nanotube, in high purity, is easy to disperse, has a low resistivity and can reach a resistivity of 650 μΩ. M, which is very suitable for battery use.
Multi-wall carbon nanotubes for lithium iron phosphate batteries
The addition of carbon nanotubes also has an important influence on the electrochemical performance of lead acid battery negative plates. After adding CNT, it can increase the amount of liquid absorption of the electrode, improve the transmission performance of the electrolyte in holes, and also improve the negative electrode conductivity, enhance the charging and discharging ability, improve the morphology and utilization rate of the active material, and slow down the salt of the negative electrode. In partial charge state, the rapid discharge cycle life of the plate can be extended. The negative electrode is added to the CNT battery prepared by 0.5 % CNT. When the SBAS0101 is rapidly charged and discharged under 50 % charge state, the battery discharge termination voltage is increased and the cycle life is extended.

CNT reinforced matrix, multi-scale hybrid composites carbon nanotubes

Carbon nanotubes (CNT) has a very excellent strength and stiffness. The advantages of carbon nanotubes can be applied to an attractive prospect in the field of macro-engineering. However, numerous studies have found that since the CNT determines its size only as a non-continuous fibers in a matrix, and the effects of poor load transfer between the CNT and the substrate. Thus, a new way of CNT applications have been proposed, namely by the CNT, the traditional continuous fiber and matrix composition of multi-scale hybrid composites to effectively utilize CNT excellent mechanical properties. This material is known as CNT enhanced multi-scale matrix hybrid composites.
CNT reinforced matrix, multi-scale hybrid laminates made of composite materials, both excellent fiber dominated mechanical properties, but also good mechanical properties of the dominant matrix that is suitable for inter-layer load and shock load environments more frequent, such as aviation Spacecraft special environment in which the load; and the application of this composite material in some large holes in the laminate structure, help to improve the strength and fatigue life of the surrounding holes, thereby enhancing the structure and security of the connection. Therefore, the carbon fiber / CNT enhanced multi-scale hybrid composite matrix has become the new frontier in the field of materials research hot spot.

CNT reinforced matrix, multi-scale hybrid composites
Mixing CNT in the matrix can be increased difference in mechanical properties between the fracture toughness, stiffness and strength, balanced matrix continuous fiber reinforced matrix and reinforcing fibers. Improve the mechanical properties of the matrix control, making composite materials fracture toughness; interlaminar shear strength and mechanical properties perpendicular to the inner surface of the continuous fiber direction are greatly improved. However, due to the size of the characteristics of CNT, CNT reinforced so that the mechanical properties of the composite material far less than people expected better.
Many nature biocomposite also belongs to multiscale hybrid composites, such as animal bones, its composition contains a macro component, microscopic and nanoscopic components composition, elements of these different scales ingredients makes bones with high toughness and high stiffness. Inspired corresponding synthetic multiscale composites (with Nano reinforcing phase) have been proposed, there is a multi-scale component so that it has excellent physical and mechanical properties.

CNT properties:
Carbon nanotubes are significantly better than traditional materials in mamy aspect. Treacy and Wong et al found that single-walled and multi-walled carbon nanotubes axial Young’s modulus of up 1TP or more (up to 4.15TPa), and a tensile strength of 100 ~ 200GPa. Yu et al study demonstrated nanotubes having good ductility, in up to 12 percent prior to tensile failure. Vigolo carbon nanotubes and other woven fibers, which have very good flexibility, fracture does not occur it a knot. Carbon nanotubes also have a strong current carrying capacity and thermal conductivity.
CNT matrix composites
The presence of CNT matrix composite material of carbon nanotubes increases the matrix micro crack propagation resistance, thanks to the bridging mechanism of carbon nanotubes. Gojny found that an epoxy resin with 0.5% by weight of amino-functionalized double-walled carbon nanotubes can improve the fracture toughness of 43%. Yu et al epoxy joined the multi-walled carbon nanotubes 1% and 3% by weight, improves the fracture toughness of 29% and 62%; at 8.67MPa and stress amplitude 11.56MPa of 0.5% by weight of multi-walled carbon nanotube / epoxy composites bending fatigue life is 10.5 times the fatigue life of the epoxy resin and 9.3 times. Zhou and other studies of four kinds of weight content (0.1%, 0.2%, 0.3% and 0.4%), multi-walled carbon nanotubes to enhance the mechanical properties of epoxy composites Epon862, the results showed that 0.4% multi-walled carbon nanotube composites Young’s modulus maximum strength and fracture toughness of the strongest 0.3%, indicating that it will not increase the mechanical properties and CNT content and continue to improve. Fiedler other studies confirmed amino-functionalized CNT to epoxy resins open fracture toughness (KIC) has significantly enhanced the effect of the epoxy resin, 0.3% by volume content of amino functional DWCNTs so open fracture toughness increased by 45%. Cadek and other studies show that multi-walled carbon nanotube reinforced polymer composites not only have good mechanical properties and good dispersion in the matrix. Zou and other studies of the epoxy-functionalized MWNTs reinforced epoxy composite, which can effectively improve the tensile strength and tensile modulus. Breton and other surrounding MWCNT reinforced epoxy composite mechanical properties a study and found that the weight content of CNT composites 6% less than the tensile strength of the tensile strength of the CNT content of 3%. However, the CNT load transfer between the substrate and the CNT Central African continuous fibers and the matrix effect is not good, CNT composites reinforced stretch, compress limited mechanical properties of stiffness and strength.

About Carbon Nanotube for Surgery Wound Healing

Carbon nanotubes have many unique properties – they are so many things almost perfect material. They are not only 50 times stronger than steel, they are also lighter by a very substantial. You know, scientists have discovered that a very interesting; carbon nanotubes, graphene coating, the introduction of certain enzymes in the blood to break their bonds, is the blood of animals and humans.

Now then, not long ago, we are talking about this in our Internet style think tank, and I came up with a new innovation, idea, and potential invention in the bioscience and life sciences industry sector. A carbon nanotube patch or carbon nano-tube stitches for Post Surgery wound healing.

You see, Carbon Nano Tubes are decayed by enzymes in blood, and that includes members of the human species or other Earth species with blood, so it is perfect for veterinarians or hospital surgeons. How would this work you ask? Well let me explain it to you;

Since blood causes carbon nano tubes to decay, over a two or three day – as the wound healed the carbon nanotubes would dissolve. Since carbon is part of the human body, and much of any animal species on this planet is carbon based, it wouldn’t hurt anything. In fact, if you coated the carbon nanotube stitches with some sort of antibiotic, you could also solve that problem. Please consider all this.

The carbon nanotube stitches would be shaped like a spring, and you would place a device over the wound pressing the flesh together, and trying to align the skin. Next you would turn on the device, and it would spin this spring forward along the wound, as the front of the spring makes a path for the rest of the spring as it would whirl and twirl itself along and close up the wound.

Lance Winslow is the Founder of the Online Think Tank, a diverse group of achievers, experts, innovators, entrepreneurs, thinkers, futurists, academics, dreamers, leaders, and general all around brilliant minds. Lance Winslow hopes you’ve enjoyed today’s discussion and topic.
