  • Stearic acid emulsion is an important ingredient in cosmetic products and can be found in lotions, creams, and soaps. It is a fatty acid that can soften and smooth the skin and also help to restore the natural barrier of the skin.

    The fatty acid has multiple benefits and uses in cosmetics, such as it is an emollient, surfactant, and emulsifier that helps keep the ingredients of a product from separating. It can also help soften the surface of the skin and lower the surface tension of the liquid in which it is dissolved, which helps to reduce the friction between the surface of the product and the skin.

    It can be used to prepare O/W-emulsions, which are a mixture of water and oil-based ingredients. It can help to create a thicker, more stable, and easier-to-use product that has a longer shelf life.

    Besides, it can also be used as an ingredient in liposomes and liposome emulsions. It can help to improve the appearance of lips, reduce wrinkles and improve their texture.

    It can also be used to formulate lipid nanoparticles and can provide an easy way to deliver drugs or other cosmetic products into the body. In this study, a stearic acid-oleic acid (SA-OA) nanocarrier system was prepared using melt emulsification technique with ultrasonication. The physicochemical properties, thermal analysis, and encapsulation efficiency of these lipid nanocarriers were investigated.

    The stearic acid emulsion prepared by the method of this invention is low in viscosity and uniform, has ideal enhancing and lubricating effects, does not appear phenomena of flocculation stratification, does not foam during production, and is an ideal stearic acid emulsion for long-term storage. It can be easily diluted and is suitable for use with many types of equipment, such as liquid chromatographs and electrophoresis systems.

  • Artificial graphite powder has been developed using the method of nanopore introduction. Its application is diverse and it is being used in many fields. However, it is mostly used for refractories, batteries, and fire protection.

    Graphite is an allotrope of carbon and has a low specific gravity. The powdered form is soft and chemically inert to acids. Therefore, it is useful in crucibles and casting polishing. Graphite can be obtained in many standard granulations, ranging from 5 mesh USS to 0.7 microns.

    Graphite is a conductive material. It can be used to create conductive coatings. Graphite is also used in refractories and in the nuclear piles. In addition, it can be used in the nozzle throats of solid rocket boosters.

    Graphite is used in the manufacturing of high-temperature nuclear reactors, such as Very High Temperature Reactors (VHTR). Additionally, it is used in the construction of next-generation nuclear plants. Graphite has also been used in radar absorbent materials.

    In the 1980s, the demand for graphite was boosted by the development of portable electronics, such as power tools and mobile phones. This increased demand led to a growth in the graphite market. Graphite is also used for various other applications, such as in conductive coatings, electrodes, and brake linings.

    During the Russia-Ukraine War, the Artificial Graphite Powder market scenario changed. Graphite was used in Schornsteinfeger and Sumpf, which were used by the U-boat snorkels.

    Compared to natural graphite, artificial graphite has a better performance. It has a good lubricating property. Another advantage is that it has a long cycling durability.

  • Inconel 718 powder plays an important role in additive manufacturing processes. Its properties include good mechanical strength at elevated temperatures, corrosion resistance, and fatigue strength. Because of its high weldability, it is widely used in aerospace and gas turbine applications. In this study, four states of powder were investigated to investigate the influence of degradation on powder properties. The characteristics of the four powders were compared and characterized in terms of flowability, morphology, and physicochemical properties.

    Laser diffraction analysis was carried out on powder particles. Particle size distributions were determined for each particle. These were then used to calculate the equivalent projected area of each particle. All the particles were found to have similar morphology, with only minor variations.

    Flowability of the four states was measured using a HORIBA LA-960 laser particle size analyzer. The particle size distribution of virgin and recycled powder was then compared. This was done to identify the degradation levels after repeated use.

    A series of microscopic images were taken of the powder to characterize the morphology and size distribution of the powder. An EVO MA25 microscope with an EDS detector was used to obtain these images.

    Using the ImageJ 1.53a software, microscopic images of each particle were analyzed to evaluate its shape, texture, and internal defect. Oxidation spots were also observed. Most of the spatter particles showed no oxide spots, with the exception of a small number of particles with a thick oxidized layer on the surface.

  • Tungsten boride is a compound of tungsten and boron which has many properties, including high hardness (20 GPa), chemical inertness and electronic conductivity. It is also used as a coating for wear-resistant parts and in the semiconductor industry.

    Typical applications of tungsten boride include the formation of a ternary tungsten boron nitride thin film with excellent thermal stability, tunable resistivity and good adhesion to oxides. The WBN films are prepared by thermal atomic layer deposition (ALD) processes that pulse boron-containing, nitrogen-containing and tungsten-containing reactants into a reaction chamber to deposit the WBN thin film.

    The highest tungsten boride is a cI2-W structure (c-B-W) with a boron atom in a dyadic bond (D-B). It has a low shear modulus, which is attributed to the dyadic nature of the W-B system.

    A body-centered cubic (cI2-W) structure with a boron atom in an a-rhombohedral bond (hR12-B) has a slightly higher shear modulus, indicating that the boron atoms in the a-rhombohedral structure are less tightly bound to the tungsten atoms in the cI2-W. Using a combination of theory and experiment, we have investigated the relative enthalpies of formation (DE) for structures with different boron atom contents.

    The enthalpies of formation are determined by the relative position of the boron atoms in the crystal lattice. They are most closely aligned with the positions of tungsten atoms in a dyadic bond, which is the same for hP16-WB3 and cI2-W. However, it is not possible to find the exact positions of the boron atoms in a dyadic relationship with tungsten atoms in cI2-W and hR12-B because of the large mass difference between the W and B atoms.

  • Silicon nitride is a structural ceramic material that is extremely hard and has very high thermal and oxidation resistance. It is also very durable, which makes it very suitable for bearing parts. In addition, it is an excellent material for use in the aerospace industry.

    Silicon nitride can be produced by a number of processes. The simplest method involves heating powdered silicon between 1300 degC and 1400 degC in nitrogen. Upon cooling, the silicon nitride slowly hydrolyzes to ammonium salt in a strong acid solution.

    Silicon nitride has been used in applications such as turbomachinery, aircraft engines, and gas turbines. Its high melting point and high strength make it an ideal choice for a variety of high temperature applications. Another benefit is its high resistance to wear and corrosion.

    In addition to its many uses in mechanical and aerospace engineering, silicon nitride has also been widely used in electronic devices. For example, it can be used as an insulating layer on an electronic device. It can also be used as a surface treatment for metals. Besides, it is used in the production of optical coatings.

    Silicon nitride has a very crystalline structure, and its particle size is approximately 20 nanometers. This makes the material resistant to wear, oxidation, and corrosion at high temperatures. It is also highly chemically inert, making it a great material for bearing parts.

    Moreover, it has excellent electrical insulation. Silicon nitride has also been used in the development of orbital satellites.

  • Zirconium carbide powder is a kind of hard refractory ceramic material, with high-temperature oxidation resistance, high strength, hardness, and excellent thermal conductivity. It has good application characteristics in tool bits, armor materials and hardfacing electrodes. ZrC also has excellent high melting point, corrosion resistance and wear resistance properties, so it is an ideal raw material for making cemented carbide.

    The physical and mechanical properties of ZrC have been studied by combining experimental data with ab initio calculations to determine the equilibrium lattice parameters, bulk modulus and elastic constants. The calculated phonon dispersions of ZrC are well consistent with the measured values, and they also provide an insight into the mixed ionic/covalent character of the chemical bonding between the C and Zr atoms in the carbide phase.

    Heat capacity measurements of partially-dense and fully-dense ZrC samples SPSed under different processing conditions are shown in Figure 10. The fully-dense specimens show a rapid rise in heat capacity from room temperature to 300 degC, while the extrapolated values are more accurate as the density increases.

    SPSed nano ZrC specimens were prepared by a simple, efficient, and environmentally friendly technique using a spark plasma sintering (SPS) furnace at various temperatures. The specimens exhibited high densities and were harder than their raw counterparts.

    In addition to the SPS furnace, a hexagram pyrometer was used to measure the densities of the sample pellets after each step of the processing procedure. The results indicate that the sintering process is responsible for a 0.2% augmentation of the raw powder's lattice parameter. This is a minor change to the stoichiometry, but can be considered in calculating the relative density of the ZrC particles.
