How do Van der Waals Forces Impact Nanotechnology?
Van der Waals forces are weak attractions between molecules due to transient dipoles. Despite their weakness, they play a crucial role in the self-assembly of nanoparticles, the stability of nanostructures, and the formation of nanocomposites. These forces can dictate the physical properties of graphene, carbon nanotubes, and other nanostructured materials.
