Prospects for Application of Nanotechnology in Marine Industries: A Brief Review | Chapter 07 | Innovations in Science and Technology Vol. 4

 The introduction of nanotechnology is a significant step forward that will lead to the development of new materials and tools in the future. Material science is being revolutionised by the ability to use nano-building blocks in size and composition. Many research of nanotechnology, its applications, benefits, and future possibilities are currently underway. Nanotechnology has various applications in the marine industry, which encompasses a wide range of businesses such as shipbuilding, submarines, and offshore platforms. In fact, nanotechnology has numerous applications in the marine industry, where it has the potential to transform the industry. Nanoparticles added to fuel have been demonstrated in studies to reduce fuel consumption and pollution in diesel engines. The addition of these nanoparticles to the fuel causes the burnt hydrocarbons and soot to decompose, increasing efficiency. As a result, the amount of soot, HC, and CO in the atmosphere reduces. The effect of nanoparticles in enhancing efficiency and lowering pollution has been validated by physical testing. Some nanotechnology applications in the marine industry are covered in this article. Nanoparticle matrices in battery electrodes, for example, can dramatically improve their ability to store lithium ions, improving the battery's storage density. Graphene is a self-lubricating material that can also be used as a lubricant additive. The use of nanotechnology in cellular ceramic production can improve its thermal stability and mechanical strength. Nanotechnologies appear to offer enormous potential in fields as diverse as medication research, water decontamination, information and communication infrastructures, and the development of stronger, lighter, and perfect nanomaterials. Nanotechnology's advantages in marine applications are no less substantial.
