What are the Challenges in Long Term Preservation?
Several challenges are associated with the long term preservation of nanomaterials and nanodevices:
Chemical Stability: Nanomaterials can react with environmental chemicals, leading to degradation or changes in their properties. Physical Stability: Nanostructures may undergo physical changes such as aggregation or phase transitions over time. Biological Interactions: In biomedical applications, nanomaterials must remain biocompatible and non-toxic over long periods. Storage Conditions: Finding optimal storage conditions that prevent degradation without compromising functionality can be challenging.
