What Are the Main Causes of Erosion in Nanotechnology?
Several factors contribute to erosion at the nanoscale, including:
- Physical Wear and Tear: This can occur due to mechanical forces or friction. - Chemical Reactions: Exposure to reactive chemicals can degrade nanomaterials. - Environmental Factors: UV radiation, moisture, and temperature fluctuations can accelerate erosion. - Biological Interactions: Enzymatic activities and microbial actions can also erode nanomaterials.
