Nanotechnology Sector Applications in Power and Farm Machinery: A Review

Abstract

Agriculture sector is one of the social, economic elements and indicators of sustainable development in any country, investigating the impact of the introduction of new technologies such as nanotechnology into this sector is of particular importance. In recent years, some research has appeared studying the effect of using nanomaterials as an alternative solution in the field of power and farm machinery on improving the performance of agricultural equipment. This review covers the current applications and challenges that are exploring by the researchers in the area of nanotechnology in improving the production of construction materials and agricultural equipment coatings, such as coatings that are resistant to sunlight and wear in machinery, sensors for increased precision and performance, machinery tires, microprocessors, lubricants, Coolants, and soil conditioners , ultimately, the impact of this technology on improving the performance of agricultural equipment. Finally, we can conclude that nanotechnology is an essential axis in the development of the power and farm machinery sector. Therefore, we recommend more research to study and suggest a solution for challenges facing the use of this technology and to work on transforming research results into productive projects to link research with investors.
