Gel-Like Carbon Quantum Dot-Based Colloid Produced by Iranian Nanotechnology Firm
Researchers at ‘Shimi Sanat Roshd Sahand’ company managed to make the carbon quantum dot-based colloid which is supplied in a gel-like form. It bears low toxicity, deserving to be used in a wide variety of applications from lubricants to electronic boards.
This colloid enjoys advantages like luminescence property within the range of 400-600 nm.
It can be applied in lubricants, fluorescent paints, brighteners, cleaners, biological markers, white light-emitting diodes (white LEDs), circuit boards and new generation of televisions.
Earlier this year, Iranian researchers had also managed to produce woven carbon fiber fabrics impregnated with resins for the first time in Iran.
Woven carbon fibre fabrics can be impregnated with polymer resins in order to produce a very stiff and lightweight material.
"For the first time in Iran, we decided to use carbon fiber fabric impregnated with resins by a group of young researchers in our country in order to meet demands in the field of health including various orthoses in the field of rehabilitation. The project could be very useful in industries such as manufacturing drone, aerospace industries, automotive industries and in general in industries where stiff and lightweight material is used,” said Meissam Metaji, a PhD student in ergonomics at Tabriz University of Medical Sciences and the executive director of the project to produce woven carbon fibre fabrics, according to the public relations department of USWR.
The researcher said that after he and his teammates found out that domestic needs for woven carbon fibre fabrics is met by importing foreign materials, they decided to produce it inside the country to meet domestic needs.
