What are the Challenges in the Development of Novel Nanomaterials?
Despite their potential, several challenges need to be addressed:
1. Toxicity and Environmental Impact: The long-term effects of nanomaterials on health and the environment are not fully understood. Research is ongoing to develop safe and eco-friendly nanomaterials.
2. Scalability: Producing nanomaterials in large quantities while maintaining quality and consistency is a significant challenge.
3. Integration into Existing Systems: Incorporating nanomaterials into existing industrial and technological systems requires overcoming compatibility and integration issues.
