the nanometer scale.
NANOTECHNOLOGY IN AUTOMOBILES
The basic trends that nanotechnology enables for

the automobile are lighter but stronger
materials(for better fuel consumption and
increased safety), improved engine efficiency and
fuel consumption for gasoline-powered
automobiles (catalysts:-fuel additives,
lubricants)reduces environmental impact from
hydrogen and fuel cell- powered automobiles
improves and miniaturizes electronic systems for
better economies (longer service life; lower
component failure rate, smart materials for self-
repair)
TYRES
Tires are one of the early applications of nano structured materials in
automobiles. Carbon black was the first nanomaterial to be used by the
automotive industry in tires as a pigment and reinforcing agent.
Nanomaterials when used correctly have the potential significantly help

reduce the level of tyre rolling resistance (which in turn lowers the
amount of fuel consumed and CO2 emitted by a vehicle)
It has been suggested that they can also help to improve a tyre’s wear
resistance, therefore increasing the lifespan and use of the tyre.
CHASSIS & EXTERIOR
Vehicle weight reduction is a key part of car manufacturer’s' strategies
to improve fuel economy. A detailed analysis of the
structure/property/process relationship of the aluminum alloy engine
blocks has led to reduced engine weight and, in turn, increased fuel
efficiency. Another area is the substitution of mineral glass windows by
polymers. However, until recently some key performance specifications
had not been reached; scratch resistance and long term ultraviolet
resistance remained challenges. Recent advances involving
nanotechnology are helping polycarbonate window developers to
overcome these challenges.
NANOCOATINGS
The term nanocoating refers to nanoscale (i.e. with a thickness of a few tens to a

few hundreds of nanometers) thin-films that are applied to surfaces in order
create or improve a material's functionalities such as corrosion protection, water
and ice protection, friction reduction, antifouling and antibacterial properties, self-
cleaning, heat and radiation resistance, and thermal management.Nanocoatings
offer significant benefits for applications in the aerospace, defense, medical,
marine, and oil industries, have driven manufacturers to incorporate multi-
functional coatings in their product
NANOTECH IN WIPERS & WINDOWS
With ‘Vision Protect’, true nanoscale mono layer formulations are now available
for use on automotive glass. Unlike traditional glass coatings that cover the
surface structure of the glass, creating a thin layer of non-stick chemicals,
Nanovations nanotechnology glass treatment,Vision Protect’ follows the contours
of the glass surface right down to the nanometre level. The results are small
nanometre thin layers that are enormously durable, and as you would expect, UV
resistant.In 2014 , successful testing by an independent, accredited USA
laboratory with an astounding 500,000 windscreen wiper cycles confirmed the
high performance.This testing procedure was used to simulate durability of wiper
blades on a windshield.

Why
Nanotechnology?
 At the nanoscale, the physical, chemical, and
biological properties of materials differ in
fundamental and valuable ways from the properties
of individual atoms and molecules or bulk matter.
cars
 The basic trends that nanotechnology enables for the
automobile are lighter but stronger materials (for better
fuel consumption and increased safety)improved engine
efficiency and fuel consumption for gasoline-powered
cars (catalysts; fuel additives; lubricants)reduced
environmental impact from hydrogen and fuel cell-
powered cars improved and miniaturized electronic
systems better economies (longer service life; lower
component failure rate; smart materials for self-repair)
Nanotechnology in
Tires
 key to tire performance is the mixture of the rubber
– but its optimization requirements can be
contradictory (highly complex chemical and physical
interactions between the rubber and the filler
material): While the tire needs good grip its rolling
resistance has to be low as well.
Nanotechnology for Chassis and
exterior
 Vehicle weight reduction is a key part of car manufacturers'

strategies to improve fuel economy. Ford's "Atoms to Engines" team
for instance looked at the structure of cast aluminum alloys at near
atomic levels.
From this work, a detailed analysis of the structure/property/process
relationship of the aluminum alloy engine blocks has led to reduced
engine weight and, in turn, increased fuel efficiency. Another area is
the substitution of mineral glass windows by polymers. However, until
recently some key performance specifications had not been reached;
scratch resistance and long term ultraviolet resistance remained
challenges. Recent advances involving nanotechnology are helping
polycarbonate window developers to overcome these challenges.
Nanocoati
ngs
 The coating is effective for up to 5 years on the side
windows of a car, this test confirmed that quite an
extensive service life can be achieved on windscreens
also. Nanovations, with its high-tech “Vision Protect’
is the first windscreen coating manufacturer that has
undertaken such a harsh test, simulating real life
situations. Driving in bad weather is now safer than
ever, because the coating is set on your windscreen
when you need it most, long after it has been applied.
It not only improves night vision and wet weather
visibility as good as, or better than conventional
products, but adds to the durability segment as well.

Nanotech in wipers and
windows
Using Nanotech
Material
with Nanofluids for
Automotive Cooling
 The friction factor and heat transfer enhancement using different
types of nanofluids are studied. The TiO2 and SiO2 nano powders
suspended to four different base fluids (pure water, EG, 10 %EG + 90
%W, and 20 %EG + 80 %W) are prepared experimentally. The thermo
physical properties of both nanofluids and base fluids are measured
and validated with the standard and the experimental data available.
The test section is setup including car radiator and the effects under
the operating conditions on the heat transfer enhancement analyzed
under laminar flow condition. The volume flow rate, inlet temperature,
and nanofluid volume concentrations are in the range of (1-5LPM) for
pure water and (3-12LPM) for other base fluids, (60– 80 °C) and (1–4
%), respectively. On the other side, the CFD analysis for the nanofluid
flow inside the flat tube of a car radiator under laminar flow is carried
out.
Efficiency of automotive
engines
 The experimental results show that the heat transfer
coefficient increases with the increase in the volume
flowrate, the nanofluid volume fraction, and the inlet
temperature. Likewise, the simulation results show good
agreement with the experimental data with deviation
not more than 6 %. In addition, the SiO2 nanofluid
appears high values of the friction factor and heat
transfer coefficient than TiO2 nanofluid. Also, the base
fluid
(20 %EG + 80 %W) gives high values of the heat transfer
coefficient and proper values of friction factor than
other base fluids.

Future
scope
With the influence of nanotechnologies the automotive
industries Playing huge role right now as well as in the future. It
might be beyond our expectations of course. In future
automotive firms electronically controlled fuel injection, exhaust
emission, anti-lock breaking system, automatic air conditioning,
head light brightness control, automatic adjustment of driver
seat, steering control, electrically controlled hanging etc. The
nanotechnology will incorporate the level of artificial
intelligence that enables it to compensate for drivers errors.
Nanotechnology in association with automotive industries
would create wonder
CONCLUSI
ON
The automotive industry will be influenced by the
development and implementation of nanotechnology. It is
our hope to raise the awareness that nanotechnology will
positively influence the business of the automotive
industry
over the next several years Due to the small size of nano-
materials, their physical/chemical properties (e.g. stability,
hardness, conductivity ,reactivity, optical sensitivity,
melting point, etc.) can be manipulated to improve the
overall properties of conventional material .Metal nano
particles are being considered for potential use in catalytic
converters since the catalytic reactivity is significantly
enhanced due to the increased surface area of the metal
