Аpplication of nanomaterials in mechanical engineering

Abstract

Nanotechnology is a science about small things, things that are the size measured in nanometers. It is a science that focuses on studying nanomaterials and by that it studies creating and manipulating the elements that are not visible by the naked eye. It is possible to do minor changes in the structure of the elements or materials, thus changing their original characteristics by witch they are described. Those new materials represent an evolutionary progress of all aspects of today's science. Theoretically, it is possible to wipe out all desieases, prolong our life expectancy, create new types of foods and drinks and even create new types of clothing by enchancing the amterials from wich they are made of. All of that is possible because of the new type of manufacturing and manipulating materials on a nanometer scale. Opposed to theory, practice shows that the industry is not yet ready for that kind of progress since there are no material developed that could manipulate matter on such a small scale. The other problem is the economic profitability of particular processes credited for obtaining new materials with better characteristics.
