How are Chemical Interactions Utilized in Nanomaterial Synthesis?
Chemical interactions are harnessed to control the size, shape, and composition of nanomaterials. For instance, in the sol-gel method, chemical precursors undergo hydrolysis and condensation reactions to form a gel-like network that can be transformed into nanoparticles. Similarly, chemical vapor deposition (CVD) relies on chemical reactions between gaseous precursors to deposit thin films of materials onto substrates.
