What are Some Examples of Customizable Nanomaterials?
Several types of nanomaterials can be customized for various applications:
- Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs): These can be tailored in terms of length, diameter, and chirality to optimize their electrical, thermal, and mechanical properties. - Quantum Dots: Their size and surface chemistry can be adjusted to tune their optical properties, making them useful in imaging and display technologies. - Gold Nanoparticles: These can be functionalized with specific ligands to target cancer cells or deliver drugs.
