How are Hydrophilic Surfaces Created on Nanoparticles?
Hydrophilic surfaces on nanoparticles can be created through various methods:
Chemical Functionalization: Introducing hydrophilic groups such as hydroxyl (-OH), carboxyl (-COOH), or amine (-NH2) to the surface. Polymer Coatings: Coating nanoparticles with hydrophilic polymers such as polyethylene glycol (PEG). Surface Adsorption: Adsorbing hydrophilic molecules onto the nanoparticle surface.
