High-Temperature Structural Ceramics
ZrB₂ nanoparticles are used in the fabrication of refractory ceramics that must retain their mechanical integrity in extreme thermal and oxidative environments, such as in aerospace turbine components and thermal protection systems.

Space and Defense Materials
Due to its ultra-high melting point and strong oxidation resistance, ZrB₂ is used in hypersonic vehicle components, rocket nozzles, nose cones, and armor-grade materials.

Nuclear Industry
Its chemical inertness and neutron absorption capabilities make ZrB₂ valuable for control rods and structural materials in nuclear reactors.

Hard Coatings and Wear-Resistant Surfaces
Applied as a surface coating on rolling elements, tools, and bearings to enhance abrasion resistance and service life under mechanical stress.

Advanced Composites
Blended with other ceramics or metals to improve thermal conductivity, mechanical performance, and corrosion resistance in cutting-edge composite systems.
