Residual gases can have several effects on nanomaterials:
Oxidation: Residual oxygen can oxidize sensitive nanomaterials, altering their electrical, optical, and mechanical properties. Hydrocarbon Contamination: Residual hydrocarbons can deposit on surfaces, affecting the cleanliness and functionality of nanodevices. Adsorption: Gases can adsorb onto the surfaces of nanomaterials, changing their surface chemistry and interaction with other molecules.
