How Do Nanocomposite Coatings Improve Instrument Durability?
Nanocomposite coatings provide a protective layer that enhances the mechanical strength and wear resistance of histological instruments. This is particularly important for microtomes, scalpels, and other cutting tools that are subjected to repeated use. The incorporation of nanoparticles such as titanium dioxide or silicon dioxide into the coating material can significantly extend the lifespan of these tools, reducing the frequency of replacements and maintenance.
