What are the Challenges in Developing Nano Lubricants?
Despite their many advantages, there are several challenges in the development and application of nano lubricants:
Dispersion Stability: Ensuring that nanoparticles remain evenly dispersed in the lubricant over time is a significant challenge. Cost: The production and incorporation of nanoparticles can be expensive, potentially making nano lubricants cost-prohibitive for some applications. Compatibility: Nano lubricants must be compatible with existing machinery and materials, which can require extensive testing and customization.
