Extending the shelf life of nanomaterials involves several strategies:
Encapsulation: Encapsulating nanomaterials in protective shells, such as liposomes or micelles, can shield them from environmental factors. Storage Conditions: Proper storage in controlled environments, such as refrigeration or vacuum sealing, can significantly extend the shelf life of nanomaterials. Surface Modification: Functionalizing nanomaterials with stabilizing agents can improve their resistance to degradation.
These methods help maintain the physical and chemical properties of nanomaterials, ensuring their effectiveness over extended periods.
