How do Biological Contaminants Interact with Nanomaterials?
Biological contaminants can adhere to the surface of nanoparticles through various mechanisms such as van der Waals forces, electrostatic interactions, and covalent bonding. These interactions can alter the physicochemical properties of the nanomaterials, affecting their stability and biocompatibility. In some cases, biological contaminants can also induce the aggregation of nanoparticles, which can further complicate their application.
