Carbon
tends to get a bad rap these days, but I think it is amazing. It plays a
huge role in the world we live in, from the carbon dioxide in the air to the
graphite in your pencil, to diamond in jewelry, to your body, you will find
its figure print everywhere, just try to open your eyes. In the earth's
crust, it is the 15th most abundant element and fourth most abundant
universal element by mass after oxygen, hydrogen and helium. Can you believe
that there is another carbon material that is stronger than steel,
unbreakably elastic, resistant to chemicals and high temperature, a better
conductor of electricity than silver, and a better heat conductor than
diamond? So, nanotechnologists have been fascinated with potential of this
material in all fields starting from aerospace to medical. Currently these
carbon powders are incorporated in diverse commercial products ranging from
rechargeable batteries, automotive parts, and sporting goods to boat hulls
and water filters including supercapacitors, actuators, and lightweight
electromagnetic shields. Hope to see much more applications in the next
decade. Enjoy a huge range of interesting facts of amazing material carbon.
Would you like to be a part of this
miracle material?
