Is your car Nano-punk'd? Probably more than you realize!!

'Ello, John, Got a new motor?

Nanocomposites are an emerging class of polymeric materials with excellent mechanical properties, enhanced modulus and dimensional stability, flame retardancy, improved scratch and mar resistance, superior thermal and processing properties, reduced warpage of components and enhanced impact resistance.
These attributes make them ideal as replacements to the usual metals in automotive and other applications.
Use of polymer nanocomposite-enabled parts in the automotive industry mean a  reduction in your car's  weight, improved engine efficiency (fuel saving), reduction in CO2 emissions and superior performance (greater safety, increased comfort and better driveability). 

Fig. 1 illustrates the usage of polymer nanocomposites parts.
