Failure windows and commit points of engineered nanomaterials in the environmentOA
Engineered nanomaterials(ENMs)rarely fail in their pristine state.I argue that functional failure can become predictable within defined boundary conditions as an ENM moves through environmental compartments and encounters rapid“commit-point”chemistry.The high surface reactivity that makes ENMs powerful also makes them exquisitely vulnerable to their surroundings.
