Despite its potential, nanofluidics faces several challenges, including:
Fabrication: Creating nanostructures with the required precision and consistency is technically challenging and often expensive. Fluid Behavior: Fluids exhibit different behaviors at the nanoscale, such as increased viscosity and surface tension, which can complicate control and manipulation. Integration: Integrating nanofluidic systems with existing technologies and ensuring their compatibility can be complex. Scalability: Scaling up nanofluidic technologies for industrial applications while maintaining performance and cost-effectiveness remains a significant hurdle.
