What are the Methods of Synthesis in Nanotechnology?
There are two primary methods of synthesizing nanomaterials:
Bottom-Up Approach: This involves assembling materials atom-by-atom or molecule-by-molecule. Techniques include chemical vapor deposition, sol-gel processes, and molecular self-assembly. Top-Down Approach: This involves breaking down larger structures into nanoscale components. Techniques include milling, lithography, and laser ablation.
