Several strategies can be employed to enhance the stability of fragile nanostructures:
Encapsulation: Encasing nanostructures in protective coatings or shells can shield them from external damage. For example, graphene can be used to encapsulate metal nanoparticles. Composite Materials: Incorporating fragile nanostructures into more robust matrices can improve their mechanical stability. This is often seen in polymer nanocomposites. Surface Functionalization: Chemical modifications to the surface of nanostructures can improve their resistance to environmental factors.
