There are several strategies to enhance the stability of nanomaterials:
Surface Modification: Coating nanomaterials with stabilizing agents like polymers, surfactants, or inorganic shells can protect them from environmental factors such as oxidation, aggregation, and thermal degradation. Core-Shell Structures: Creating core-shell nanostructures where a stable outer shell encapsulates a functional core can significantly improve stability. For example, gold nanoparticles coated with silica shells are more resistant to oxidation. Functionalization: Functional groups can be attached to the surface of nanomaterials to enhance interaction with their environment, improving stability and dispersibility in different media.
