What are the Challenges in Nanomaterials Research?
Despite the promise of nanomaterials, there are several challenges:
Synthesis: Achieving uniformity, scalability, and cost-effectiveness in production. Characterization: Advanced techniques are required to analyze properties at the nanoscale. Health and Safety: Understanding the potential toxicological impacts of nanomaterials on health and the environment. Integration: Incorporating nanomaterials into existing manufacturing processes and products. Regulation: Developing guidelines and standards for the safe use of nanomaterials.
