Galvanic noble metal coatings have mostly unsatisfactory tribological properties. Friction and wear can be significantly reduced by use of electrolyte additives based on novel nanoparticles.

Boron nitride (BN) nanotubes did not get a lot of press attention like carbon nanotubes, but they exhibit many similar properties such as a high Young’s modulus and might have superior unique thermal, electronic and mechanical properties [1]. BN nanotubes may also serve as a perfect nano-insulating tubular shield for any conducting material encapsulated within.
