Vehicles such as trucks, battle tanks, amoured vehicles, ships are
fundamental facilities in military. Those vehicle-engine durability,
lifespan, and horsepower are important factors and enhancement of
such parameters is necessary.
Previous research works have been shown that the presence of
carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in internal combustion engine oils
(lubricating and thermal transfer oils) gives rise to the reduced engine
friction and the increased heat sink. This contributes positively to
engine yield performance, durability, lifespan, and fuel savings as
well. The CNT-based engine oils have been manufactured in USA,
EU, Japan, and Korea and used mostly in military sectors. Therefore,
know-how finding and successful fabrication of the CNT-based
engine oils are necessary and meaningful in many facets. Given that
fact, author is focused on the field of research “Carbon nanotubes
based internal combustion engine oils applied for military vehicles”
for his PhD course.
