How Can Internal Stress be Controlled in Nanomaterials?
Controlling internal stress is essential for optimizing the performance of nanomaterials. Techniques include:
Annealing: Thermal annealing can relieve internal stress by allowing atoms to reposition into a lower energy state. Layer-by-Layer Deposition: This fabrication technique can help manage stress by carefully controlling the deposition process. Surface Coatings: Applying coatings can help mitigate surface-induced stress.
