Post 10 references to your invention project. Post a brief paragraph of the summary of each of your references. These references must be from the primary literature which can be accessed through the UW-Stout library. I suggest utilizing Web of Science and Science Citation Index.
1. http://vnweb.hwwilsonweb.com/hww/results/getResults.jhtml?_DARGS=/hww/results/results_common.jhtml.35
a. This article discussed the implication that nanotechnology is already beginning to have on environmental and human health. It further notes that much research is needed before this field can further expand. However this article is from 2007 so I’m sure much has been done in this area since that time.
2. http://nanotechweb.org/cws/article/lab/45937
a. In the article linked above the process of plasma nanofabrication is described in detail and the benefits of the process are outlined. Previous methods for manufacturing nanomaterial’s have often involved human and environmental exposure which could prove to be harmful.
3. http://nanoyou.eu/attachments/502_EXPERIMENT%20D2%20_Appendix%20I%20for%20teachers.pdf
a. Nanoyou.eu provided great explanations of how, by reducing the size of an atom, the surface area of that atom increases at an incredible rate. This is important to our project because we are attempting to invent a tire tread that provides much great traction to the road.
4. http://www.nanowerk.com/nanotechnology/introduction/introduction_to_nanotechnology_3.html
a. In our last class period Dr. Matt Ray gave a presentation detailing how surface area is a very important characteristic of nanotechnology and is one of the main reasons why nanotechnology has fascinated many scientists. This site detailed how and why this surface area increased and why it’s so important.
5. http://apps.webofknowledge.com/full_record.do?product=WOS&search_mode=GeneralSearch&qid=1&SID=P2Ido1Miibk1@hBL@53&page=1&doc=2
a. The article linked above mainly focuses its discussion around the environmental concerns surrounding nanotechnology. However this article did not say much about specifics but it brought up a good point that nanotechnology could have unseen dangers in the near future.
6. http://www.unisci.com/stories/20022/0612023.htm
a. Dr. Persson works with Formula one tire’s and in this brief article describes the current struggles to create a tire made of a material that has a good ratio of toughness yet is supple enough to be able to grip uneven surfaces with ease. This gave great insight into the struggles faced by tire companies to innovate their products each and every day possible.
7. http://www.bhrgroup.com/applying_nano-coatings_to_rubber.aspx
a. The BHR Group studies Fluid Engineering and one of their current research projects is applying a nano-coating to rubber fitting to provide a better seal and also provide a material that is less friction pron.
8. http://www.navysbir.com/04_1/2.htm
a. Icephobic coatings are currently being researched by several companies to be applied to electrical components that are commonly exposed to the outdoors, also this concept is sort of what our invention hopes to help solve by creating a rubber texture that is almost completely weather resistant.
9. http://vnweb.hwwilsonweb.com/hww/results/getResults.jhtml?_DARGS=/hww/results/results_common.jhtml.35
a. Current uses of similar applications of the invention we proposed are described in the link above. A nano film is applied to machinery and used as lubrication. The nano-film in which they create has similar sliding characteristics of rubber.
10. http://vnweb.hwwilsonweb.com/hww/results/getResults.jhtml?_DARGS=/hww/results/results_common.jhtml.35
a. At the Rice University in Houston, Texas they have proposed an idea that utilizes nanotechnology to create a rubber which would be 3 times stronger than current rubber but would maintain its elasticity.
