What are the Challenges in Using Electro Osmosis in Nanotechnology?
Despite its advantages, electro osmosis faces several challenges when applied to nanotechnology:
Ionic strength: High ionic strength can reduce the zeta potential and thus the efficiency of electro osmotic flow. Heat generation: The electric field can cause significant Joule heating, affecting the stability of biological samples. Fabrication: Creating nanoscale channels with consistent properties is technically challenging and requires advanced nanofabrication techniques.
