What are the Challenges in Metallic Nanotechnology?
Despite their potential, there are several challenges associated with metallic nanoparticles:
1. Stability: Nanoparticles can agglomerate, losing their unique properties. Stabilizing agents or surface modifications are often required to maintain their nanoscale size. 2. Toxicity: The impact of metallic nanoparticles on human health and the environment is still not fully understood. There is ongoing research to assess and mitigate potential risks. 3. Scalability: Producing metallic nanoparticles on a large scale while maintaining uniformity and quality can be challenging.
