How Do Nanoscale Properties Translate to the Macroscopic Scale?
Nanoscale materials often exhibit unique properties that differ from their bulk counterparts. For instance, nanoparticles can have enhanced catalytic activity, improved mechanical strength, or unique optical properties. When these nanoparticles are assembled into macroscopic materials or devices, it is critical to ensure that the advantageous properties are retained. This involves understanding and controlling factors such as agglomeration, dispersion, and surface interactions.
