Mechanical disintegration is crucial in nanotechnology for several reasons:
Enhanced Properties: Reducing materials to the nanoscale can significantly enhance their physical, chemical, and biological properties. Surface Area: Nanoscale materials have a much larger surface area-to-volume ratio, which can improve their reactivity and interaction with other substances. Functionalization: Smaller particles can be more easily functionalized for specific applications, such as drug delivery, catalysts, and sensors.
