Increasing Engine Efficiency with Friction Reducing-Oil Additives

Bailey C., Christensen G., Grablander T., Hong H., Lou D., Novum Nano, US

Typical engine oils used in internal combustion gas and diesel engines are not high in thermal conductivity and are limited in friction performance, which together limit engine efficiency and longevity. Carbon nanotubes and hexagonal boron [...]

Hydrogen bonding enhanced thermally conductive carbon nano grease for enhanced CPU performance

Bailey C., Christensen G., Grablander T., Hong H., Lou D., Younes H., Novum Nano, US

Thermal greases are vital for electronic temperature regulation and overall performance. Improved thermally conductive greases have been made utilizing hyrdogen bonding of carbon nanotubes (CNT) and hexagonal boron nitride (hBN). Nanomaterial fabricated greases have similar [...]

Fine textured composite low friction coatings with combined corrosion protection ability

Becker-Willinger C., Bentz D., Kalmes P., INM - Leibniz Institute for New Materials, DE

A new class of multifunctional low friction coatings combining a low coefficient of friction of µ 1000 h in the neutral salt spray test on mild steel have been developed. The coatings possess a fine [...]

Thermal conductivity model for polymer/Boron Nitride nanocomposite considering air void content

Kim J.H., Park S.Y., Shin M.W., Yonsei University, KR

Polymer/Boron Nitride (BN) nanocomposite is promising interfacial material for cooling of electronic systems. It is important to determine percolation threshold when it practically uses in the industry. But, the exact prediction with existing model is [...]
