Nanotechnology enhances pyrotechnics in several ways:
1. Increased Reactivity: Nanoparticles have a larger surface area-to-volume ratio compared to their bulk counterparts, leading to increased reactivity. This results in more efficient and controlled reactions. 2. Improved Safety: By using nanoscale materials, manufacturers can reduce the quantities of hazardous substances needed, thus enhancing safety. 3. Controlled Burn Rates: Nanotechnology allows for precise control over burn rates, enabling the creation of custom pyrotechnic effects with specific durations and intensities. 4. Environmental Benefits: Reduced material usage and more complete combustion can lead to fewer harmful emissions, making pyrotechnics more environmentally friendly.
