How Can Surface Modification Enhance Nanomaterials?
Surface modifications can significantly enhance the properties and applications of nanomaterials:
Functionalization: Adding functional groups to the surface can improve solubility, targeting, and interaction with other molecules. Coating: Coating nanoparticles with polymers or other materials can enhance stability and biocompatibility. Patterning: Surface patterning techniques, such as lithography, can create specific structures and functionalities on nanomaterials.
