Question

Mention the drawbacks of Nanomaterials in chemistry.

Answer 1

Drawbacks of nanomaterials in chemistry:

1. Nanoparticles are unstable when reacting with oxygen.
2. Their exothermic combustion with oxygen can easily cause an explosion.
3. Because nanoparticles are highly reactive, they inherently interact with impurities as well.
4. Nanomaterials are usually considered biologically harmful and toxic.
5. It is difficult to synthesize, isolate and apply them.
6. There are no hard-and-fast safe disposal policies for nanomaterials.
