The lifecycle testing of nanomaterials typically involves several stages:
1. Synthesis and Production: Examining the methods of nanomaterial synthesis for consistency and safety. 2. Characterization: Detailed analysis of the physical and chemical properties of the nanomaterials. 3. Functional Testing: Evaluating the performance of nanomaterials in their intended applications. 4. Environmental and Health Impact Assessment: Studying the potential toxicological effects and environmental impact of nanomaterials. 5. End-of-Life Disposal: Investigating safe disposal methods and the recyclability of nanomaterials.
