Introduction to Nanotechnology in Mechanical Engineering

The field of micro and nanotechnology is one of the emerging filled in modern engineering and it has the potential to revolutionize the field of engineering and manufacturing. Hence in modern era it has emerged as one of the most important topic for research in the field of mechanical engineering.

Nanotechnology in the context of mechanical engineering refers to the integration of mechanical components with electrical components including sensors and controllers. It consists of a wide range of complex and advance techniques which helps in fabrication of systems at the nano and micro level as compared to traditional macroscopic production and manufacturing. Basically at the fundamental level nanotechnology refers to techniques that is capable of manipulating matter on the nano or the atomic scale. Hence nanotechnology needs extensive analysis of quantum mechanics capable of dealing with material behaviour and study at the nano level which is one billionth, or 10⁻⁹, of a meter.

Nanotechnology through mechanical engineering is impacting other filed as well such as defence, healthcare, medical services through advanced products. The remarkable achievement of nanotechnology in the field of medical science is the capability to analyse DNA structure found only at the nano scale level.

The aim of the paper is to suggest the possible trends based on the summary of the work published by other researchers in the field of hybrid manufacturing which is associated with the micro and nano scale manufacturing

The authors has here reviewed the peer published work put forward by other researchers and based on that they have proposed some suggested trend in the field of nano manufacturing

Although here the author have not done any original research, but the findings of the paper have increased the knowledge base of theoretical context and provide a background to apply the theoretical knowledge for further research.The aim of the paper is to define the concept of nanotechnology in the fields of vaccine production and also define ways to apply it correctly and effectively in vaccine formulas

The author have opted for empirical research method for verifying the application of the vaccine production and the synthesis result has also been presented The research has provided the opportunity to apply nanotechnology in the fields of vaccine production and thus contributed in extending the application of nanotechnology in medical science for advance research

The aim of the paper is to introduce nanotechnology for advanced cutting of joining process

The authors have here applied for primary qualitative research. The paper has clearly illustrated the concept of nanotechnology for cutting and joining and also provided detailed description regarding the method for application along with possible limitations The research has provided an opportunity to apply nanotechnology for cutting shapes that are highly complex in nature and that too without marks of heat affected zones, a major problems in traditional process

The aim of the paper is to introduce nanotechnology as a scalable and flexible technology for improving manufacturing environment and production cost The author has opted for mixed research method. First the case studies were analysed and then along with that a methodology has been proposed to improve the issues with traditional manufacturing environment for applying nanotechnology

The Role of Nanotechnology in Healthcare and Medical Services

Applying knowledgebase modelling for micro scale manufacturing has always been an issue due to the requirement for the high accuracy. Hence the authors have proposed for workflow technologies along with capability database for effective management of technological process.The aim of the paper is to introduce nanotechnology to produce medicine at lower cost

The authors have here applied for secondary quantitative research. Comparison has been shown between price of advance medicine production with and without nanotechnology in terms of percentage and data

Although the paper does not provide any original method of application, it serves the purpose of enhancing theoretical knowledge in this context and helps to proceed with further research in this context.The aim of the paper is to introduce a new kind of nanomaterial for effective water and wastewater treatment

The author has applied for primary qualitative research and new method has been prosed for wastewater management through a new nanomaterial based technique along with its advantage and limitations

The research has provided a context for applying nanomaterial’s for wastewater management which will improve the process as nanomaterial has excellent ability to extract pollutant from the waste water to reduce pollution

The aim of the paper is to apply nanotechnology for consumer product manufacturing as an efficient process to improve quality as well as cost The authors have applied for primary qualitative research. The application of nanotechnology in the field of consumer products have been discussed with special focus on efficiency, versatility and cost. The process to apply nanotechnology for consumer product manufacturing has been shown in details

The research provides an opportunity to explore a new application of nanotechnology in domain of consumer manufacturing with the required theoretical background for the same The aim of the paper is to create a framework to apply the nanotechnology to improve process chain activities The paper has followed primary qualitative research with discussion on benefits and limitation of traditional approaches for management of process chain activities and how nano technology improves that

The management of process chain activities was always an issues as no standard approach is available. This paper has attempted to improve that with nanotechnology.  The aim of the paper is to describe the process for applying nanotechnology in manufacturing artificial objects that is similar to natural objects

The author has here opted for primary qualitative research with detailed description of applying nanotechnology in the manufacturing process.

If artificial objects similar to natural objects is created with the mentioned method by the authors it will create a revolution in the fields of advance manufacturing The aim of the paper is to apply leaser technique for micro and nonmanufacturing process for better efficiency The author has applied for primary qualitative research with detailed description for applying laser techniques with nonmanufacturing

Laser manufacturing has a huge advancement in the field of nonmanufacturing and hence if applied properly it will improve the manufacturing process and also reduce the cost.
