Nanotechnology offers several strategies to mitigate wear:
Nanocoatings: Applying protective nanocoatings can enhance wear resistance by providing a hard, durable surface layer. Advanced Lubricants:Nanolubricants can reduce friction and wear by forming protective films at the contact points. Material Engineering: Designing materials at the atomic or molecular level can optimize their wear properties, such as incorporating carbon nanotubes to improve strength. Surface Treatments: Techniques like plasma treatment can modify surface properties to reduce wear.
