Despite the potential of nanotechnology, securing funding can be challenging due to:
High Initial Costs: The sophisticated equipment and specialized knowledge required for nanotechnology research can be expensive. Regulatory Uncertainty: The regulatory landscape for nanomaterials is still evolving, which can deter investors concerned about potential compliance costs and risks. Technical Risks: The complexity and novelty of nanotechnology mean that not all research leads to viable commercial products, making it a high-risk investment.
