What are the Challenges in Size and Shape Control?
One of the main challenges is achieving uniformity and reproducibility. Even slight variations in the synthesis process can lead to significant differences in nanoparticle size and shape, impacting their properties and performance. Another challenge is scalability. Techniques that work well in the laboratory may not be easily scalable for industrial production. Additionally, the environmental impact and safety of nanomaterials need to be thoroughly assessed, especially when they are used in consumer products.
