Advance Applications of Nanomaterials: A Review

In this paper, recent applications of nano science and technology are discussed. Nano technology is spreading rapidly across the world as a more powerful technology. Nanotechnology controls the matter at its atomic level, thus the properties like strength, hardness, durability, etc. of matter are considerably affected under the scale of nanometers (10(-9)m). Its small size and high surface to volume ratio gives very special and unique properties to it, which can be used in our practical problems. The essential needs of today's industry are to design and develop a higher efficient system with minimum losses. The use of nano science is able to fulfill this current requirement with maintaining high accuracy. Nano technology is broadly used in various fields, mainly in wear and corrosive environments such as nano composite materials, nanostructured coatings (in hydro turbine blades, coal fired boiler etc.), cutting tools, nano fluids (to increase heat transfer rates of fluid), building materials and in automotive industries to enhance the effectiveness of that particular system. In present investigation, the aim is to review the advance applications of the nano materials. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
