Physical barriers are crucial for several reasons:
- Safety: They help mitigate the potential toxic effects of nanoparticles by preventing their uncontrolled release into the environment or human body. - Control: These barriers provide precise control over the interaction and distribution of nanoparticles, which is essential in applications like drug delivery and electronic devices. - Efficiency: By restricting the movement of nanoparticles, physical barriers can enhance the effectiveness of nanotechnology applications, such as increasing the efficacy of medical treatments or improving the performance of filters.
