What are the Challenges in Developing Nanoscale Coatings?
Despite their advantages, there are several challenges in developing and applying nanoscale coatings:
Scalability: Difficulties in scaling up laboratory processes to industrial production levels. Uniformity: Achieving consistent thickness and properties across large surfaces. Compatibility: Ensuring that the coating material is compatible with the underlying substrate. Cost: High costs associated with some deposition techniques and materials. Regulatory hurdles: Meeting safety and environmental regulations, especially for medical and food-related applications.
