How Do Particulate Contaminants Affect Nanomaterials?
Particulate contaminants can affect nanomaterials in several ways:
Physical Interference: Contaminants can physically block or alter the pathways in [nanostructures], leading to compromised functionality. Chemical Reactions: Certain contaminants can react with nanomaterials, causing unwanted chemical changes or degradation. Biological Interactions: In biological applications, contaminants can interact with cells or tissues in unforeseen ways, potentially leading to toxicity or other harmful effects.
