Orientation is crucial in several applications of nanotechnology:
Nanoelectronics: Proper orientation of nanowires and nanotubes is essential for the efficient functioning of transistors and other electronic components. Biomedical engineering: In drug delivery, the orientation of nanoparticles can affect their interaction with biological cells and their ability to target specific tissues. Optoelectronics: The alignment of nanomaterials can enhance the performance of devices like solar cells and light-emitting diodes (LEDs). Composite materials: The mechanical properties of nanocomposites are significantly influenced by the orientation of nanofillers within the matrix.
