Let Us Take A Look Briefly At Copper Nanowires

Nanowires are basically nanostructures, and are very small in size. Different kinds of nanowires can be found, some insulating, semiconducting, metallic, and superconducting. These wires essentially are known to have amazing properties.

The nanowires made of copper can easily be dispersed in the transparent substances for generating the transparent conductors. They have been under serious studies for its potential memory shape properties. They are sensitive when in air and can get oxidize in some time if they are open to air. This should be packed carefully in nitrogen.

Where are copper nanowires used?

There are number of streams where copper nanowires play an important role, some are mentioned below:

 The nanowires of copper can be used in the alloys and metals which have high strength.

 They are used in many food items and works well for EMI shielding as well.

If you check out the ingredients on any weight loss supplements found in the market, you will notice this in any of them as it helps in easy weight loss.

Commonly, researchers use them in the lubricant elements and in capacitor materials as well as sintering additives.

These particles are used in pastes and inks, as well as in displays, electronics, and thin films.

There are two basic procedures by which these nanowires of copper can be formed, they are bottom up and up down methods. However, some of the common techniques used are suspension, vapour deposition, laboratory methods, and there are many more to count on.
