The Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part N: Journal of Nanoengineering and Nanosystems is a peer-reviewed scientific journal covering nanoscale engineering, nanoscience, and nanotechnology. It was established in 2004 and is published by SAGE Publications on behalf of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. [1]
Nanomaterials can also be used in three-way-catalyst applications, which have the advantage of controlling the emission of nitrogen oxides (NO x), which are precursors to acid rain and smog. [45] In core-shell structure, nanomaterials form shell as the catalyst support to protect the noble metals such as palladium and rhodium. [ 46 ]
The application potential of nanoparticles in catalysis ranges from fuel cell to catalytic converters and photocatalytic devices. Catalysis is also important for the production of chemicals. For example, nanoparticles with a distinct chemical surrounding , or specific optical properties. [citation needed]
The applications of nanotechnology, commonly incorporate industrial, medicinal, and energy uses. These include more durable construction materials, therapeutic drug delivery, and higher density hydrogen fuel cells that are environmentally friendly.
For example, multi-layer structures can be fabricated for use in electronic applications. An electrodeposited Fe/Fe oxide multi-layered sample can be an example of this application of magnetic nanocomposites. [35] In applications such as power micro-inductors where high magnetic permeability is desired at high operating frequencies. [36]
To build meaningful "machines" at the nanoscale, the relevant forces need to be considered. We are faced with the development and design of intrinsically pertinent machines rather than the simple reproductions of macroscopic ones. All scaling issues therefore need to be assessed thoroughly when evaluating nanotechnology for practical applications.
For example, measuring the electrical resistivity of a porous metal can yield the exact concentration of an analyte species in gaseous form. [1] Since the resistivity of the substrate is proportional to the surface area of the porous media, using nanoporous materials will yield higher sensitivity in detecting trace gaseous species than their ...
The journal publishes theoretical and experimental research articles and studies about synthesis and use of nanomaterials. [1] It was founded in 2010. The journal is published by MDPI, as of 2022 editor in chief is Shirley Chiang, an American microscopist from University of California, Davis, the Department of Physics and Astronomy. [2]
