Several approaches can help mitigate the high costs of nanomaterials:
Improved Manufacturing Techniques: Advances in nanofabrication technologies can help reduce costs. For instance, roll-to-roll processing can produce nanomaterials more efficiently. Economies of Scale: As demand for nanomaterials increases, larger-scale production can lower costs through economies of scale. Alternative Materials: Researchers are exploring more abundant and less expensive materials that can deliver similar performance to costly nanomaterials. Government and Private Funding: Increased investment in nanotechnology R&D from both public and private sectors can help drive down costs over time.
