chemical dispersants

How Do Chemical Dispersants Work?

Chemical dispersants function primarily through two mechanisms: electrostatic repulsion and steric hindrance. In electrostatic repulsion, charged molecules are adsorbed onto the nanoparticle surfaces, creating a repulsive force between particles. Steric hindrance involves large molecules that physically block nanoparticles from approaching each other. Both mechanisms help to stabilize the suspension of nanoparticles in a medium.
