What Challenges Exist in the Development and Use of Nanocomposites?
Despite their numerous advantages, the development and application of nanocomposites come with challenges such as:
Dispersion: Achieving uniform dispersion of nanoparticles within the matrix can be difficult, impacting the material's properties. Cost: The production of nanocomposites can be more expensive due to the cost of nanoparticles and the complexity of processing techniques. Health and Safety: The potential health risks associated with the manufacturing and handling of nanoparticles need to be carefully managed. Scalability: Scaling up the production of nanocomposites from the laboratory to industrial levels remains a significant challenge.
