What are the Challenges in Enhancing Mechanical Strength Using Nanotechnology?
Despite the advantages, there are several challenges:
Dispersion: Achieving uniform dispersion of nanomaterials within a matrix can be difficult, affecting the overall mechanical properties. Interfacial Bonding: Strong interfaces between nanomaterials and the matrix are essential for effective load transfer. Scalability: Producing nanomaterial-enhanced composites at a large scale can be challenging and costly. Health and Safety: The potential health risks associated with the production and use of nanomaterials need to be carefully managed.
