What are the Challenges Faced by Thermal Nanoactuators?
Despite their advantages, thermal nanoactuators also face several challenges:
- Thermal Management: Managing heat dissipation and avoiding overheating can be difficult, especially in densely packed systems. - Response Time: The speed at which thermal nanoactuators respond can be limited by the rate of heat transfer, which may not be suitable for all applications. - Material Fatigue: Repeated thermal cycling can lead to material fatigue and eventual failure, necessitating durable material selection.
