There are various methods to synthesize solid phase nanomaterials, each tailored to produce specific types of nanostructures with desired properties:
Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD): A process where vapor-phase chemicals react to form solid nanomaterials on a substrate. Sol-Gel Process: A wet-chemical technique that involves the transition of a system from a liquid "sol" into a solid "gel" phase. Electrospinning: A technique to produce nanofibers using an electric field to draw charged threads of polymer solutions. Mechanical Milling: A top-down approach where bulk materials are broken down into nanometer-sized particles through mechanical forces. Hydrothermal Synthesis: Involves chemical reactions in aqueous solutions at high temperature and pressure to form nanomaterials.
