What Techniques are Used for Material Optimization?
Several techniques are employed for material optimization in nanotechnology:
1. Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD): This method is used to produce high-purity, high-performance solid materials by depositing a thin film of material onto a substrate. 2. Electrospinning: A technique used to create nanofibers with controlled diameters and high surface areas, useful in filtration and biomedical applications. 3. Sol-Gel Process: This involves the transition of a solution into an integrated network (gel), enabling precise control over the material’s composition and morphology. 4. Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD): A process that allows for the deposition of atomic-scale thin films, ideal for applications requiring precise thickness control.
