What are the Challenges in Applying These Techniques?
Despite their potential, several challenges hinder the widespread application of nanotechnology techniques:
Scalability: Techniques like EBL are excellent for creating nanostructures but are not easily scalable for mass production. Cost: The high cost of equipment and materials can be prohibitive for large-scale applications. Reproducibility: Ensuring consistent results across different batches or production runs is challenging. Safety and Environmental Concerns: The health and environmental impacts of nanomaterials are not yet fully understood, posing potential risks.
