What Are the Implications of Chemical Degradation in Different Applications?
Chemical degradation can have varying implications depending on the application:
Biomedical: Degraded nanomaterials can lose therapeutic efficacy and potentially become toxic. Electronics: Degradation can lead to loss of electrical conductivity and device failure. Energy Storage: In batteries and supercapacitors, degradation can reduce the lifespan and efficiency of the device. Environmental Remediation: Degraded nanomaterials may lose their ability to remove contaminants effectively.
