Are nanomaterials biodegradable?

Nanomaterials can exhibit varying degrees of biodegradability depending on their composition and design. While some nanomaterials are biodegradable, others are not. Biodegradability is influenced by factors such as the nature of the material, its size, and surface properties. For instance, nanomaterials made from organic substances or polymers tend to be more likely to degrade in environmentally favorable conditions. However, many metallic nanoparticles and carbon-based nanomaterials typically possess lower biodegradation potential. It is crucial to evaluate each nanomaterial's specific characteristics to determine its biodegradability. Our company offers a comprehensive range of nanomaterials, including both biodegradable and non-biodegradable options, allowing customers to choose materials that align with their specific application requirements and environmental considerations.
