Several techniques are employed in lab scale production, including:
- Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD): A process where gaseous reactants form a solid material on a substrate. - Electrospinning: A method to create nanofibers from polymer solutions or melts. - Sol-Gel Process: A chemical synthesis technique to produce solid materials from small molecules. - Ball Milling: A mechanical process for creating nanoparticles by grinding bulk materials.
