What are the Challenges in Using Nanotechnology with PET?
While the benefits are substantial, integrating nanotechnology with PET also presents challenges:
Dispersion: Achieving uniform dispersion of nanomaterials within the PET matrix is a critical challenge. Cost: The cost of nanomaterials can be high, which may limit the commercial viability of nano-enhanced PET. Health and Safety: The potential health and environmental impacts of nanomaterials need to be thoroughly investigated. Scalability: Developing scalable manufacturing processes for nano-enhanced PET remains a significant hurdle.
