Nanotechnology improves leak detection through several mechanisms:
- Enhanced Sensitivity: Nanosensors can detect minute changes in pressure, chemical composition, and temperature, making them highly effective at identifying leaks. - Real-Time Monitoring: Nanomaterials can be integrated into systems to provide continuous, real-time monitoring, enabling immediate detection and response. - Miniaturization: The small size of nanosensors allows them to be deployed in hard-to-reach areas, providing more comprehensive coverage.
