What are the Challenges in Using Zirconia Nanoparticles?
Despite their numerous advantages, there are some challenges in using zirconia nanoparticles:
1. Agglomeration: Zirconia nanoparticles tend to agglomerate, which can affect their performance. Effective dispersion techniques are required to maintain their nanoscale properties. 2. Cost: The synthesis and processing of high-quality zirconia nanoparticles can be costly. 3. Toxicity: While generally considered biocompatible, the long-term effects and potential toxicity of zirconia nanoparticles need further investigation.
