Why are Chemical Bonds Important in Nanotechnology?
The properties of nanomaterials are fundamentally determined by the nature of their chemical bonds. By manipulating these bonds, scientists can tailor the electrical, optical, mechanical, and chemical properties of nanomaterials for specific applications. For example, by altering the covalent bonding in carbon-based materials, we can create fullerenes, graphene, or carbon nanotubes, each with unique properties suitable for different nanotechnological applications.
