What are the Challenges in Developing Thin Films and Coatings?
Despite their numerous advantages, there are several challenges associated with the development of thin films and coatings:
Scalability: Scaling up nanotechnology-based thin films from laboratory to industrial scale can be challenging. Cost: Advanced deposition techniques can be expensive, limiting their widespread adoption. Durability: Ensuring long-term stability and durability of thin films in harsh environments remains a critical issue. Interfacial Issues: Managing the interface between the thin film and the substrate is crucial for performance but can be complex.
