Cerium Oxide--A Multifaceted Compound
Cerium oxide serves as a widely used material in numerous applications. Its remarkable chemical and physical properties contribute to its versatility. For example, cerium oxide is frequently used in catalytic converters to decrease harmful emissions from vehicles. Additionally, it finds use in the manufacturing of ceramics due to its high refractiv
Polymer Nanocomposites: Engineering Advanced Materials
Polymer nanocomposites constitute a groundbreaking class of materials synthesized by incorporating nanomaterials into a polymer matrix. This refined dispersion of nanoparticles, including carbon nanotubes, at the nanoscale drastically enhances the mechanical, thermal, and barrier properties of the parent polymer. The resulting nanocomposites displa
