What Challenges Exist in Controlling Chemical Reactions at the Nanoscale?
While the potential of chemical reactions in nanotechnology is vast, several challenges remain:
- Control: Achieving precise control over reaction conditions to produce uniform and reproducible nanomaterials. - Scalability: Scaling up laboratory processes to commercial production levels without loss of quality. - Stability: Ensuring the long-term stability of nanomaterials and their resistance to aggregation. - Safety: Assessing and mitigating any potential toxicity and environmental impact of nanomaterials.
