What are the Challenges in Developing Nanostructured Coatings?
Despite their advantages, there are several challenges in the development and implementation of nanostructured coatings:
Cost: High production costs associated with sophisticated fabrication techniques. Scalability: Difficulty in scaling up laboratory processes to industrial levels. Environmental impact: Potential risks related to the disposal and recycling of nanomaterials. Long-term stability: Ensuring the longevity and performance of coatings under various environmental conditions. Regulatory issues: Navigating complex regulatory frameworks for the approval of nanomaterial-based products.
