What are the Challenges in Scalable Manufacturing?
Despite the promising techniques, several challenges hinder the scalability of nanotechnology manufacturing:
Material Uniformity and Quality Control Ensuring consistent quality and uniformity in large-scale production is challenging. Variations in material properties can impact the performance and reliability of nanotechnology-based products.
Cost Factors Scaling up production often involves significant capital investment in specialized equipment and facilities. Balancing cost-effectiveness with high-quality output is a major challenge.
Environmental and Safety Concerns The production of nanomaterials may pose environmental and health risks. Developing safe and sustainable manufacturing processes is essential.
