Applications of nanotechnology in the defense sector

Altmaim (2004) noted that, with considerable effort in the areas of research and development, nanotechnology conld serve the following applications in the defense sector  

According to Ramkumar and Singh (2011 ), the incorporation of nanomaterials irrto textiles, a process that cottld be called the nano-functionalization of textiles, 

Carbon nanofibers High tensile strength, chemical resistance and electrical conductivity 

Clay nanoparticles Electrical, heat and chemical resistance, barrier to UV light, flame-retardant and anticorrosive
