Nanomaterials in the Automobile Sector
Mohammad Harun-Ur-Rashid and Abu Bin Imran
The automobile sector is continuously putting efforts into ensuring the safety and comfort of passengers, intelligent traffic guidance systems, pollution reduction, and successful recycling processes. The constructive and successful utilization of nanomaterials is an effective and potential scientific strategy that simplifies the technologies to develop lighter, more durable and economical, faster, and smart devices by consuming less raw materials and optimum energy. Emerging nanomaterials in the automobile sector explores how nanomaterials and nanotechnology are utilized to boost the performance of materials and devices required for automobile application by designing and developing nanocomposites, nanoalloys, nanocoatings, nanocatalysts, nanolubricants, and nanoadditives. In addition to these, this chapter will focus on the application of green polymer nanocomposites in automobile sector to address the issues associated with nanotoxicity.
