How Do Nanomaterials Achieve Lightweight and Strength?
Nanomaterials achieve a balance of lightweight and strength through their unique structural characteristics. For example, graphene is a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a two-dimensional lattice. Despite being only one atom thick, it is incredibly strong and light. The strength of nanomaterials often comes from their atomic bonding and the surface effects that dominate at the nanoscale, providing high surface area-to-volume ratios and increased interaction with other materials.
