What are the Major Challenges in Developing Nanofluidic Systems?
Despite their promising applications, several challenges need to be addressed:
Fabrication: Creating nanostructures with high precision and reproducibility is technically demanding and costly. Surface interactions: At the nanoscale, surface interactions dominate, which can complicate the control of fluid flow. Integration: Integrating nanofluidic systems with existing technologies and larger-scale systems can be complex. Reliability: Ensuring consistent performance and minimizing clogging are ongoing concerns.
