Metal Nano Powder

Bismuth is a brittle metal and crystalline metal. It constitutes the most naturally diamagnetic metal. Typically, bismuth is found as bismuthinite (bismuth sulfide), bismite (bismuth oxide) and bismuthite (bismuth carbonate). Bismuth exhibits some properties that it expands as freezes and also unusually high electrical resistance for a metal. It manifests thermal conductivity which is lower than any metal except mercury.

Bismuth compounds are most commonly utilized for treating gastrointestinal disorders. Bismuth manifest antimicrobial activity, it does so only at relatively high concentrations because of its limited water solubility. Bismuth compounds remain indispensable components of stomach remedies, such as Pepto-Bismol (bismuth subsalicylate, BSS). The diversity of bismuth compounds in medicine extends to the treatment of syphilis and tumors, and in radioisotope therapies. Currently, bismuth nanopowder had been utilized in diagnosis of biomolecules as well as antimicrobial agents of broad-spectrum.

Bismuth nanopowder have a wide range of applications in the field of glass ceramics, layers for optical and electronic devices, thermal and mechanical sensors, reflecting windows. The glasses of bismuth are very convenient for exploiting as lead-free low-softening point dielectric glasses for thick film conductors, plasma display panel, and sealing glasses for metals, etc. In addition, bismuth glasses could also be employed as a lead-free high-density radiation shielding window (RSW) glasses.

Bismuth recommends it for a wide range of applications in the solid-state technology: from optical coatings to optoelectronics and ceramic glass manufacturing. A series of technological applications of bismuth oxide thin films use its photocatalytic properties and the caption of polar gases in the gas sensors. Bulk metal oxides find extensive application as catalysts for industrial selective oxidation reactions.
