Self degrading nanomaterials are crucial for several reasons:
1. Environmental Impact: Non-degradable nanomaterials can accumulate in the environment, leading to potential ecotoxicity and pollution. Self degrading materials mitigate this risk by breaking down into harmless components. 2. Medical Applications: In biomedical applications, such as drug delivery and tissue engineering, self degrading materials can be designed to degrade after fulfilling their function, thereby reducing the need for surgical removal. 3. Waste Reduction: The use of biodegradable nanomaterials can significantly reduce waste and promote sustainability.
