How Does Nanotechnology Improve Cleaning Efficiency?
Nanotechnology enhances cleaning efficiency through various mechanisms. Nanoparticles can be engineered to have specific properties such as hydrophobicity or oleophobicity, which make surfaces repel water and oil. This reduces the adhesion of dirt and grime, making surfaces easier to clean. Additionally, some nanocoatings can break down organic matter through photocatalysis, effectively cleaning the surface without the need for harsh chemicals.
