How Can Nanotechnology Help in Preventing Fractures?
Nanotechnology can help in preventing fractures by enhancing the material properties through the incorporation of nanoparticles, nanotubes, or nanofibers. For instance, adding carbon nanotubes to a composite material can significantly improve its strength and fracture toughness. Additionally, nanoscale coatings can be applied to protect materials from environmental degradation and mechanical wear.
