How Do Ionic Interactions Influence Nanomaterials?
Nanomaterials, such as nanoparticles, nanotubes, and nanowires, can exhibit unique properties due to their size and surface area. Ionic interactions play a crucial role in determining these properties by affecting the aggregation, dispersion, and surface charge of nanomaterials. For instance, by controlling the ionic strength of a solution, researchers can fine-tune the stability and assembly of nanoparticles.
