Several factors contribute to the increased strength of nanomaterials:
Surface Area to Volume Ratio: Nanomaterials have a much larger surface area relative to their volume, which can significantly enhance their mechanical properties. Defect Reduction: At the nanoscale, materials can be engineered to have fewer defects, such as dislocations and grain boundaries, which are typically weak points in larger-scale materials. Quantum Effects: Quantum mechanical effects can influence the behavior of materials at the nanoscale, leading to unique properties such as increased strength and durability.
