What are the Challenges in Particle Size Reduction?
While the benefits are substantial, there are several challenges:
Aggregation: Nanoscale particles tend to aggregate due to their high surface energy, which can negate their unique properties. Contamination: During processes like milling, there is a risk of contaminating the nanoparticles with materials from the milling equipment. Scalability: Scaling up production while maintaining uniform particle size and properties is complex and costly.
