PENA-PARAS, Laura; TAHA-TIJERINA, Jaime  and  MALDONADO-CORTES, Demófilo. Universidad de Monterrey. Mundo nano [online]. 2016, vol.9, n.17, pp.57-65.  Epub Aug 28, 2020. ISSN 2448-5691.  https://doi.org/10.22201/ceiich.24485691e.2016.17.58152.

Since 2010, the University of Monterrey (UDEM) has a new research group in nanotechnology and tribology, which specializes in the following research areas: development and characterization of nanolubricants for tribological applications; laser surface texturing and application of nanolubricants; study of nanofluids for dielectric applications; development and characterization of nanofluids and nanogreases for thermal applications; preparation of polymer nanocomposites and paints with nanoparticle additives for corrosion and wear protection; nanofluids as advanced quenching medium; characterization and functionalization of nanomaterials with biomedical applications.

Research group has qualified members and totally updated equipment and devices to meet the industrial needs and achieve progress on basic science. The scientific and industrial networking has grown considerably, which allows us to move forward in obtaining resources for the generation of new and challenging projects.

All team members belong to the National Researchers System (SNI).

Keywords : Nanotechnology; nanoparticles; nanolubricants; nanocoatings; tribology.
