What is the Role of Defects in Nanomaterials?

Defects such as vacancies, dislocations, and grain boundaries have a profound impact on the mechanical properties of nanomaterials. While defects can weaken bulk materials, they can sometimes strengthen nanomaterials due to mechanisms like dislocation pinning and strain hardening. However, controlling these defects is essential for optimizing the mechanical performance of nanomaterials.
