What are the Challenges in Studying Strain and Stress in Nanomaterials?
Studying strain and stress in nanomaterials presents several challenges:
- Scale: The extremely small size of nanomaterials makes it difficult to apply and measure forces accurately. - Heterogeneity: Nanomaterials can exhibit significant variability in their properties due to differences in size, shape, and surface chemistry. - Environment: External factors like temperature, humidity, and chemical environment can significantly affect the mechanical properties of nanomaterials.
