Coating at the nanoscale is crucial for several reasons: 1. Enhanced Performance: Nanocoatings can significantly enhance the performance of materials. For example, adding a nanoscale coating to a metal surface can improve its resistance to corrosion and wear. 2. Functional Properties: Coatings can introduce new functional properties such as hydrophobicity, antimicrobial activity, and UV protection. 3. Economic Efficiency: Nanoscale coatings often require less material compared to traditional coatings, making them more cost-effective.
