Low-dimensional nanoscale materials are challenging as they exhibit properties distinctly different from their bulk counterparts. There is an exponential increase of reactivity at the molecular level due to high surface-to-volume ratios in these materials, and not only are their electronic, optical, and chemical properties different, so too are their mechanical ch.
