Iran reduces car engine corrosion with oil containing nanoparticles

The corrosion of car engines due to increased temperature and friction poses a grave problem for vehicles and experts have long been seeking to produce a quality oil to protect engines. 

One solution to this problem is to boost the quality of oils and to add nanometric participles for this purpose. The technology was indigenized by Fardis Shimi Bakhtar, an Iranian knowledge-based company, with the help of the office of the vice president for science and technology.  This product enables people to protect their car engines and increases the life of oil. The nanoparticles floating in the engine oil fill the pores of metal surfaces, thus protecting them against corrosion. This creates a thicker oil layer and helps better lubricate those parts. During the process, diamond nanoparticles roll back and forth on metal surfaces. As a result, the sliding friction that usually occurs between metal surfaces turns into a rolling friction, which plays a key role during the switching on and off when the oil layer is highly thin. 

The oil containing nanoparticles results in faster starting of the car and decreased heat production and ultimately increases oil life and reduces fuel consumption.
