Surface roughness is one of the important parameters to enhance the performance and efficiency of engineering components. Nanofinishing is a manufacturing process that reduces surface roughness upto a few nanometres and sub-nanometres in some cases. The process has impact on various fields of engineering, science and biomedical applications like precision bearings, biomedical chips and implants, general optics, laser optics, X-ray optics, microelectronic fabrication, micro-fluidics, etc., to improve their functionality.
