What are Some Applications of Surface and Interface Engineering?
Engineering surfaces and interfaces is pivotal in numerous nanotechnology applications:
1. Drug Delivery: Functionalized nanoparticles with specific surface properties can target and deliver drugs to specific sites within the body.
2. Environmental Remediation: Nanomaterials with tailored surfaces can adsorb and degrade pollutants, making them useful for cleaning up environmental contaminants.
3. Energy Storage: Interfaces in nanomaterials are critical for the performance of batteries and supercapacitors.
4. Coatings: Nanostructured coatings can provide enhanced properties such as anti-corrosion, anti-fouling, and self-cleaning surfaces.
