Nanomaterials exhibit adaptability through several mechanisms: 1. Self-Assembly: Self-assembly processes enable nanomaterials to organize themselves into functional structures without external guidance. 2. Stimuli-Responsive Behavior: Some nanomaterials can change their properties in response to external stimuli like temperature, pH, light, or magnetic fields. 3. Shape and Size Modulation: Nanoparticles can alter their shape or size to optimize their functionality for specific applications.
