There are numerous specific applications of nanotechnology in mechanical engineering, including:
Nanocoatings: Used for protective coatings that enhance the wear, corrosion, and heat resistance of mechanical parts. Nanocomposites: Incorporated into materials to improve mechanical properties like tensile strength and toughness. Nanosensors: Developed for monitoring stress, strain, and environmental conditions in real-time. Nanomachines: Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS) for precise mechanical operations at the nanoscale.
