Use Case – How to Improve the Existing Efficiency of Nanotechnology Application in the Military Industry
Barrel wear and abrasion represent one of the most persistent problems in grenade launchers and other large-caliber weapon systems. Without advanced protective measures, barrels degrade quickly under extreme firing conditions, reducing accuracy, increasing maintenance costs, and requiring frequent replacement.

Use Case – Tungsten Disulfide Fullerene Nanoparticles in Oil Suspension
Military and heavy-duty vehicle engines operate in extreme environments where conventional oils and greases are insufficient to prevent wear, cold-start difficulties, and premature breakdown. Vehicle downtime due to engine degradation leads to higher operational costs, reduced reliability, and mission delays.

Use Case – Nano Protection for Optical and Aiming Device Mechanisms
Improved anti-friction and anti-wear characteristics of optical/aiming mechanisms
-
Use Case – Enhance Performance for TEST BARRELS & LEAD BULLETS
For this testing, lead bullets LRN 10.2 g, caliber 38 (.3575) were pre-treated. Bullets were coated with ultra-thin layers of fullerene nanoparticles of tungsten disulfide, without affecting the caliber.
