7. The antimicrobial activity of Silver ion is well
defined in Nano science. Anti-microbial
mechanisms of Nano silver are different
according to the species of bacteria.
The efficacy of microbe killing is based not only
on the amount of Silver ion present, but likely
also the presence of other Silver radicals
generated by a Silver releasing product.
8. The Polishing paste containing Nanomaterials
can be used to reduce the roughness of a
surface almost by a factor of ca 2nm and
reach the value of 0.9 nm.
These polishers can be supplied in
hydrophilic, hydrophobic and all-purpose
forms.
9. NanoDiamond / NanoGraphite - based
motor oil additives, are the result of the
latest developments in Nanotechnology.
They reduce the fuel consumption (up to
12%), friction and wear; reinforce the
inner motor surfaces and recondition the
motor.
10. Silver coatings are often used to increase the
conductivity and corrosion stability of copper in
electrical connectors, switches, circuit boards
etc.
The amount of nanoparticles getting co-
deposited with the metal is tiny (below 0.1%),
nevertheless, their presence decreases both
wear and friction coefficient by 60%.
