What are the Challenges in Using CD for Nanomaterials?
While CD is a powerful tool, its application in nanotechnology faces certain challenges:
Signal Sensitivity: Nanomaterials often produce weak CD signals due to their small size, making it difficult to detect and analyze chiral properties accurately. Complexity of Samples: Nanomaterials can exhibit complex optical behaviors that complicate the interpretation of CD spectra. Sample Preparation: Preparing nanomaterial samples for CD analysis requires precision to avoid artifacts and ensure reproducibility.
