Considerations on Nanotechnology in Industrial Applications (original) (raw)

Nanotechnology and Its Interface with Automotive Industry

Although scientist have long been working with " nano' size entities, the birth of the nanotechnology is commonly considered when Richard P. Feynman, a Noble Laureate, gave his famous lecture entitled, " There's Plenty of Room At The Bottom. " In this lecture he stated that the entire encyclopedia of Brittanica can be put on the tip of a needle and in principle there is no law preventing such an undertaking. He then challenged the scientific community and set a small monetary reward to demonstrate experiments in support of such a miniaturization. This was addressed by the Northwestern University researchers using a nanotech tool called Atomic Force Microscope (AFM). The term nano refers to a reduction of size or time by 10-9. As such a nanometer is 10-9 meter. A human hair thickness is about 50 micron (i.e. 50x 10-6 meter) in size, meaning that a 50 nanometer object is about 1/1000th of the thickness of a hair. To give the readers a feel for the order of magni...

Application of Nanotechnology for Industry

2014

Nanotechnology can best be considered as a 'catch-all' description of activities at an almost vanishingly small scale that have applications in the real world. A nanometre is a billionth of a metre, that is, about 1/80,000 of the diameter of a human hair, or 10 times the diameter of a hydrogen atom. An early promoter of the industrial applications of nanotechnology in the UK, Professor Albert Franks, defined it as 'that area of science and technology where dimensions and tolerances in the range of 0.1nm to 100 nm play a critical role'. This definition neatly allows for both the 'bottom up' and 'top down' approaches to nanotechnology. It encompasses precision engineering as well as electronics, electromechanical systems (such as the development of 'lab-on-a-chip' devices) and mainstream biomedical research and development in areas as diverse as gene therapy, drug delivery and novel drug discovery techniques. 'Top-down' refers to the fab...

It is found that when nanoscale particles composite within atomic matrix of materials or coated on suitable surface may bring innovative characteristics', that leads to fabrication cutting edge devices. The present article focuses on the possible research and development of transcendent nanotechnology in the different disciplines of engineering.

Nanotribology: Friction on a nanometer scale

Physica Scripta, 1993

The submicrometer length scale is mostly beyond the resolution of classical tribometers. The Scanning Force and Friction Microscope operated as a nanotribometer is a suitable tool for the investigation of nanotribological properties. The Scanning Force and Friction Microscope measures simultaneously forces normal and parallel to the sample surface with a resolution down to the atomic scale. The setup of a Scanning Force Microscope based nanotribometer, its calibration and the methods for quantitative data analysis are discussed. It is shown that a two-dimensional histogram analysis yields quantitative data on the distribution of the indium on a nanometer scale. The concepts are applied to the analysis of a silicon oxide surface with indium clusters are discussed. The chemical sensitivity of the Scanning Force and Friction Microscope operated under ambient condition makes this instrument a promising candidate for a standardized tool in nanotribology.

Recent Researches In Engineering, Science And Technology– “Nano Technology”

2015

Nano machines play a major role in the country development. Now a day’s nano are most faster technology in the developing country. So the uses of nano machines are most important in the faster world. The nano machines are very small in size and it can be used for various fields. And because of the very small size it’s working speed is high. So when we manufacture machines in nano size we can achieve most accuracy and easy production. Since the nano machines are using the planet's resources as raw material with which to replicate, the danger is that the planet could eventually be transformed into a seething mass of nanomachines.

Evolution of Nanotechnology and Their Impact

International Journal of Engineering Sciences & Research Technology, 2014

It is an era of fast changing technologies in all fields of human and machine activities. While in Mechanical and Manufacturing fields it is very fast changing, other fields of human activities also do not have the isolation from past moving technologies. If a new technology is developing today and put into use it may be catering the need of the day but not the need of tomorrow. Formatting the need of tomorrow therefore improve technologies are required. In that process nanotechnology can be said to have taken place in industrial houses in particular. Nanotechnology is the art and science of manipulating matter at the atomic or molecular scale and holds the promise of providing significant improvements in technologies for protecting the environment. Nanotechnology pulls in information from physics, chemistry, engineering, and biology to study and use materials at the nano level to achieve various results. It will have a significant impact on almost all industries and all areas of society. It turns out that being able to see and work with things on a very small level has some very big ramifications not isolated to one industry or field. Currently there are no applicable standards to reliably measure nanotechnology on-line during volume production. Therefore there is a danger that every value chain, or chain segment, will develop their own heterogeneous standards based on secondary properties. This paper examines the development of nanotechnology and their impact in different areas

Implementation and Application of nanotechnology in industrial Sector

2014

In a world of information, digital technologies have made copying fast, cheap, and perfect, quite, independent of cost or complexity of the content. What if the same were to happen in the world of matter? The production cost of a ton of tetra byte RAM chips would be about the same as the production cost of steel. Design costs matter, production costs would not matter. Hard to imagine ? Not for the new breed of scientist who says that the 21st century could see all these science fiction dreams come true that is because of molecular nanotechnology, a hybrid of chemistry and engineering that would let us manufacture anything with atomic precision. Nanotechnology at times becomes easier to predict. Computers will compute faster, and materials will become stronger and medicine will cure more diseases. The technology that works at nano meter scale of molecules and atoms will be a large part of this future, enabling great improvements in all the fields of human presence. But it could also ...
