MUMBAI, India, Feb. 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202411073681 A) filed by Indian Institute Of Technology, New Delhi, on Sept. 30, 2024, for 'a process for fabricating a tribological nanocomposite coating on the surface of a substrate.'
Inventor(s) include Ray, Nirat; Thakur, Soumyasuravi; Gosvami, Nitya Nand; Datta, Debottam; and Singh, Jitendra Pratap.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 13, under issue no. 07/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present disclosure relates to a process for fabricating a tribological nanocomposite film coating on the surface of a substrate in a thermal evaporation system. The present disclosure particularly relates to a process for fabricating a transparent ultrathin tribological nanocomposite film comprising polyaniline polymer matrix (PANI) and a filler selected from graphene, thermally expanded graphite, graphene oxide (GO), carbon black, carbon nanotube (CNT), exfoliated graphite (EG), carbon derivatives, chemically modified graphene or transition metal dichalcogenides on the surface of a substrate in a thermal evaporation system. The tribological nanocomposite film on the surface of a substrate of the present disclosure demonstrated control/reduction of a friction and therefore improvement in the tribological properties of the material surfaces."
