Several key external conditions can influence nanotechnology:
Temperature: Temperature changes can induce phase transitions in nanomaterials, affect their thermal conductivity, and alter their chemical stability. pH Levels: The acidity or alkalinity of the environment can impact the surface charge and solubility of nanoparticles. Humidity: Moisture can lead to the oxidation or hydrolysis of nanomaterials, affecting their long-term stability. Light Exposure: Ultraviolet (UV) light can cause photodegradation of certain nanomaterials and influence their photocatalytic activity. Pressure: High or low pressure conditions can influence the synthesis and structural integrity of nanomaterials.
