Controlling particulate contaminants is crucial for the success of nanotechnology applications. Here are some common strategies:
Cleanroom Environments: Manufacturing and assembling nanodevices in cleanrooms can significantly reduce the presence of airborne contaminants. Advanced Filtration: Using High-Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters can remove contaminants from the air in both manufacturing and storage environments. Surface Treatments: Applying anti-static or anti-fouling coatings to surfaces can prevent contaminants from adhering to nanomaterials. Proper Handling: Using specialized tools and gloves can minimize the introduction of contaminants during handling and assembly.
