Friction reducing performance of carbon nanotubes covered pistons in internal combustion engines – engine test results

This article discusses the posibility of reducing friction losses in internal combustion engines by using carbon nanotubes, pointing out the large potential of this application. Experimental pistons were made of standard aluminum alloy and coated with a layer of nanotube deposits by spraying them wi...
