Research and Markets: The Technology Involved in Lubrication by Nanoparticles Is a Rapidly Developing Scientific Area and One That Has Been Watched With Interest for the Past Ten Years

DUBLIN, Ireland--(Business Wire)--
Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c89069) has announced the
addition of "Nano Lubricants" to their offering.

The technology involved in lubrication by nanoparticles is a
rapidly developing scientific area and one that has been watched with
interest for the past ten years. Nanolubrication offers a solution to
many problems associated with traditional lubricants that contain
sulphur and phosphorus; and though for some time the production of
nanoparticles was restricted by the technologies available, today
synthesis methods have been improved to such a level that it is
possible to produce large quantities relatively cheaply and
efficiently.

Nanolubricants develops a new concept of lubrication, based on
these nanoparticles, and along with the authors' own research it
synthesises the information available on the topic of nanolubrication
from existing literature and presents it in a concise form.

-- Describes the many advantages and potential applications of
nanotechnology in the tribological field.

-- Offers a full review of the state-of-the-art as well as much
original research that is yet unpublished.

-- Includes sections on boundary lubrication by colloidal systems,
nanolubricants made of metal dichalcogenides, carbon-based
nanolubricants, overbased detergent salts, nanolubricants made of
metals and boron-based solid nanolubricants and lubrication additives.

-- Authored by highly regarded experts in the field with
contributions from leading international academics.

Nanolubricants will appeal to postgraduate students, academics and
researchers in mechanical engineering, chemical engineering and
materials science. It should also be of interest to practising
engineers with petroleum companies and mechanical manufacturers.
