What are the Challenges in Grinding for Nanotechnology?
Grinding to nanoscale dimensions presents several challenges:
Agglomeration: Nanoparticles tend to stick together, making it difficult to achieve uniform particle size. Contamination: Grinding media and equipment can introduce impurities into the nanomaterials. Energy Consumption: High-energy processes can be costly and inefficient. Wear and Tear: Grinding equipment can degrade over time, affecting the quality of the nanomaterials.
