What are the Challenges in Standardizing Nanomaterials?
Despite the progress, there are several challenges in standardizing nanomaterials:
- Complexity: The complex nature of nanomaterials makes it difficult to define universal standards. - Dynamic Properties: The properties of nanomaterials can change depending on their environment, making it challenging to create stable standards. - Interdisciplinary Nature: Nanotechnology intersects with various fields, requiring a multidisciplinary approach to standardization. - Regulatory Hurdles: Different countries and regions have their own regulatory frameworks, complicating the establishment of global standards.
