How are Multifunctional Nanoparticles Synthesized?
The synthesis of multifunctional nanoparticles involves several steps:
Chemical synthesis: Techniques like sol-gel processes, hydrothermal synthesis, and chemical vapor deposition are commonly used. Bioconjugation: Involves attaching biomolecules to the nanoparticle surface to enhance targeting and specificity. Self-assembly: Utilizes the inherent properties of molecules to form organized structures spontaneously.
