What Are the Challenges in Implementing Nanotechnology-Based Coatings?
While nanotechnology offers significant benefits, there are challenges to consider:
- Cost: The manufacturing and application of nanocoatings can be more expensive than traditional coatings. - Health and Safety: There are concerns about the potential health effects of nanoparticles, particularly during manufacturing and application. - Environmental Impact: The long-term environmental impact of nanoparticles is still being studied, and there is a need for sustainable practices in their use and disposal.
