ABOUT RICK SHANKMAN

Dr. Rick Shankman, AIChE MIET MIoD is the inventor of (nontoxic) Phantaslube® molecular nanopolishing lubricant technology and CEO of Phantaslube LLC. Phantaslube LLC is the maker of Phantaslube®, a patented revolutionary molecular nanopolishing additive for any sealed mechanical gear system, engine, turbine or bearing. It\'s highly advanced technology makes all current lubricant additive packages obsolete. Phantaslube® works by forming graphene (in situ) on the surface of the metal parts and then patented spherical nanopolishing particles from the heat generated by friction in your engine or transmission. Once formed, these “Phantasmene” nanopolishing balls cut through the rough surface imperfections on the metal parts and polish them to atomic-level perfection (Ra 90% max.) in harmful carbon emissions and increased reliability and longevity of equipment. Current EP/AW additives that attempt to coat surfaces will never work. To eliminate friction, you must eliminate its source; harmful asperities on the surfaces of metal parts. Dr. Shankman\'s research also involves the \"bottom-up\" reflux synthesis of graphene from simple carbonaceous precursors, with subsequent hydrophobic self-assembly of large area graphene films using the surface tension of water.
