Nanotechnology leverages the unique properties of materials at the nanoscale to improve water solubility. Some key approaches include:
Nanoparticle formation: Reducing the particle size of a compound increases its surface area, enhancing its interaction with water molecules. Nanocarriers: Encapsulating poorly soluble compounds in nanocarriers like liposomes, micelles, and dendrimers can improve their solubility and stability in aqueous environments. Surface modification: Altering the surface chemistry of nanoparticles through functionalization can enhance their water solubility and bioavailability.
