Monitoring the Environmental Aging of Nanomaterials: An Opportunity for Mesocosm Testing?
Traditional aging protocols typically examine only the effects of a limited number of stresses, and relatively harsh conditions may trigger degradation mechanisms that are not observed in actual situations. Environmental aging is, in essence, the complex interaction of multiple mechanical, physicoch...
