Nanotechnology: Transforming the Automobile Industry

What's the role of nanotechnology in mechanical & Automation?

Every aspect of nanotechnology has advanced in the recent decade, including nanoparticles and powders, nanolayers and coatings, electrical, photonic, and mechanical nanodevices, and nanostructure biological materials. Nanotechnology is expected to have a significant impact in all disciplines of science and technology in the next 20-30 years.

Coatings

Nanocoating refers to the process of applying a nanometer-scale layer to a material or covering a nanoscaled substance.

Aerospace 

Nanotechnology could help reduce the size of gear, which would reduce the amount of fuel used to get it to fly.

Catalysis 

From fuel cells to catalytic converters and photocatalytic devices, potential nanoparticles are used in catalysis.

Automobile Industry

Nanotechnology will play a significant role in sparkplugs. Nanomaterials are being evaluated for use in sparkplugs because they are the most grounded, tougher, and wear resistant.

Fuel Tanks

Recent research has discovered a significant reduction in fuel transmission through nanomaterials when nanoclay filler is joined. As a result, these materials are regarded as gas tank and fuel line segments for automobiles.

Corrosion Protection

Surface coatings protect metals and alloys from corrosion, and they should be resistant to both mechanical and chemical attack. Because of their greater hardness and flexibility, nanomaterials are scratch resistant.

What Makes Nanotechnology  So Different?

  • Nanomaterials exhibit unique physical and chemical properties.
  • Gas-tight materials, dense components, and porous coatings have all been made with nanosized metallic powders.
  • Nanophase ceramics are of particular interest because, as compared to coarse-grained ceramics, they are more ductile at high temperatures.
  • Luminescence in silicon powders and silicon germanium quantum dots as infrared optoelectronic devices are examples of non-linear optical features of nanostructured semiconductors.
  • The optical and magnetic characteristics of nanostructured materials have improved.
  • Nanomaterials have a very high surface area to volume ratio due to their microscopic dimensions.

Future Scope of Nanotechnology in Mechanical & Automation Industry

Nanomaterials can considerably improve the safety and longevity of transportation vehicles due to their unique physical and chemical properties.

1

The use of hydrophobic nano coating technology to produce a car that cleans itself. This carefully created high-tech nano paint repels water and oil when applied to the exterior of a car, producing a protective layer between the car body and the environment.

2

People could change the color of their car in a fraction of a second with nano paints at the touch of a button! Nano paints can produce the entire spectrum of colors due to their ability to reflect light.

3

The first and most significant advantage of nanotechnology applications is the ability to create lighter and stronger materials. The fuel consumption of automobiles could be drastically reduced as a result of weight reduction.

4

The reduction of pollutants emissions from engines has recently become the most highlighted concern in the transportation industry for environmentally friendly technology. To do this, a coating of aluminium nanoparticles could be applied to the cylinder walls to reduce friction.

Latest Research topics in Mechanical & Automation sector

The latest trend in Mechanical & Automation is more about Insect-sized robots, wearable sensors, and tensegrity materials and thus, redefining their roles as Innovators.

Graphene Fibers with Optimized Conductivity and Strength

This study paves the path for additional research into optimizing fibre assembly and microstructure in order to build high-performance Graphene fibers. This method could be applied to various materials to create hierarchical structures for a variety of purposes.

Thermal Radiation Controlled Using Nanostructure

Thermo photovoltaic cells, thermal management systems, and next-generation semiconductor packaging all benefit from their thermal radiation control technologies. It could potentially be used as a source of renewable energy for IoT sensors.

Precision Motion and Automation Sub-System Solutions

The latest state-of-the-art precision motion technologies are on display at PI's booth, just a few steps past the foot of the escalator into the exhibit hall of the world's largest multidisciplinary photonics event. For precision motion initiatives in industry, research, and science, PI engineers are available to answer problems and suggest solutions.

Nanostructure Changes Color When Finger Comes Near

Touchscreens are useful, but touch less displays would be far better. That's because, while touchscreens have aided the smartphone's advancement into our life and are required for us to use cash registers and ticket machines, they do have certain drawbacks.

Economical Sound-Absorbing Nanofoam

A young scientist from the Far Eastern Federal University (FEFU) and others have discovered a new breakthrough material capable of decreasing noise levels by 100%. The new foam substance is more efficient than traditional analogues, reducing noise transmission by 20-22 decibels.

Nanoparticle Measuring Devices using Atomic Blasting

Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have recently demonstrated that a standard ion-beam approach can be fine-tuned to create structures with depths adjusted to within a single silicon atom's width.

Benefits of Learning about  Nanotechnology

Nanotechnology is one of the most stimulating frontiers in medicine, renewable energy, and agribusiness. According to Research and Markets, the global nanotechnology industry might be worth around $174 billion by 2025, after expanding at an 18.1 percent compound annual growth rate between 2016 and 2025. Its emerging applications in the three businesses indicated above, as well as a slew of others, could bolster essential interest in linked developments, allowing for a variety of positions along the way.
