The unique properties of ceramic-based nanomaterials stem from their nanoscale dimensions. At this scale, materials exhibit quantum effects, increased surface area, and altered mechanical properties. These changes result in:
1. Enhanced Mechanical Properties: Nanoceramics can be significantly stronger and tougher than their bulk counterparts. 2. Thermal Stability: They can withstand high temperatures without degrading, making them suitable for high-temperature applications. 3. Chemical Resistance: Nanoceramics are often more chemically stable, which is beneficial for applications in harsh environments.
