Potential applications of nanotechnology in transportation: A review

Metal-containing nanomaterials as lubricant additives: State-of-the-art and future development

“…Recently, the use of nanomaterials as lubricant additives (also known as nanolubricants) has become an important research area [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. The nanolubricant approach is used to overcome the drawbacks of conventional anti-wear and anti-friction additives associated with the need for chemical reactions with substrates, and hence the induction period for obtaining a tribo-film on the friction surface.…”

Challenges for Assessing Toxicity of Nanomaterials

“…Although, human health is at considerable risk because of toxicity of these nanotechnology-based goods on exposure/intake by several routes (Figure 1 and Table 2) [36].

Effect of CaCO3 nanoparticles on the microstructure and fracture toughness of ceramic nanocomposites

“…Nanomaterials can be defined as a field that focuses on a material science-based approach to nanotechnology. Recently, research in material science and nanomaterials has produced new materials that have advantageous properties compared to the properties of bulk or conventional materials [3,4]. Moreover, the structure of these materials at the nanoscale (1-100 nm) often has unique thermal, mechanical, optical, and electronic properties [5,6].…”
