What are the Challenges in Developing Tunable Nanomaterials?
Despite their potential, several challenges exist in developing tunable nanomaterials:
Scalability: Producing these materials on a large scale while maintaining their tunable properties is difficult and often cost-prohibitive. Stability: Ensuring that the modified properties remain stable under different environmental conditions is a significant challenge. Toxicity: Understanding and mitigating the potential health and environmental impacts of nanomaterials is crucial for their safe use. Regulation: The regulatory landscape for nanomaterials is still evolving, and compliance with existing and future regulations can be complex.
