How Does Nanotechnology Enhance Chemical Recycling?
Nanotechnology introduces a myriad of benefits to chemical recycling. Nanocatalysts, for instance, can significantly enhance the efficiency and selectivity of chemical reactions involved in the recycling process. These catalysts, often composed of nanoparticles like nanoscale zeolites or metal nanoparticles, provide a larger surface area and unique electronic properties that facilitate more efficient breakdown of complex polymers.
