What Are the Challenges in Strengthening Materials with Nanotechnology?
Despite its potential, there are several challenges in applying nanotechnology to strengthen materials:
Uniform Dispersion: Achieving a uniform dispersion of nanoparticles within a matrix material is critical for consistent material properties but is often difficult to accomplish. Cost: The production and integration of nanomaterials can be expensive, limiting their widespread adoption. Scalability: Scaling up the production of nanostructured materials to industrial levels without compromising their properties remains a significant challenge.
