Several factors influence the mechanical stability of nanostructures:
Size and Shape: The dimensions and geometry of nanomaterials significantly affect their mechanical properties. Surface Effects: High surface-to-volume ratio enhances the influence of surface atoms, leading to unique mechanical behaviors. Defects: Presence of defects like vacancies, dislocations, and grain boundaries can weaken the structure. Environmental Conditions: Temperature, humidity, and chemical environment can alter the mechanical stability.
