What are Some Common Types of Structural Nanomaterials?
Several types of structural nanomaterials are widely studied and used:
- Nanocomposites: These are materials that incorporate nanoscale particles into a matrix to enhance its properties. - Nanotubes: Particularly carbon nanotubes, which are known for their exceptional strength and electrical conductivity. - Nanowires: These are wires with a diameter in the nanometer range, offering high strength and electrical properties. - Nanofibers: Often used in filtration and tissue engineering due to their high surface area and mechanical properties.
