What are the key challenges in testing nanomaterials?
One of the primary challenges in testing nanomaterials is their unique properties at the nanoscale, which can differ significantly from their bulk counterparts. These properties include size, shape, surface area, and reactivity. Traditional testing methods are often inadequate for accurately characterizing these materials, necessitating the development of new techniques. Additionally, the potential toxicity and environmental impact of nanomaterials require rigorous testing protocols.
