Addressing interface issues requires a multi-faceted approach:
Surface Engineering: Techniques such as coating, functionalization, or doping can modify the surface properties to reduce unwanted reactions or improve adhesion. Advanced Characterization: Tools like Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) can provide detailed insights into the interface properties, aiding in the design of better materials. Computational Modeling: Simulations at the atomic or molecular scale can predict how different materials will interact at the interface, allowing for optimization before experimental trials. Material Selection: Choosing materials with compatible properties (e.g., similar thermal expansion coefficients) can minimize stress and improve overall performance.
