The process generally involves three main steps: 1. Dissolution: The solute is dissolved in a suitable solvent. 2. Mixing: The solution is rapidly mixed with the antisolvent. 3. Precipitation: Due to the reduced solubility in the antisolvent, the solute precipitates out as nanoparticles.
Critical parameters such as the concentration of the solute, the ratio of solvent to antisolvent, and the rate of mixing can significantly influence the size and morphology of the resulting nanoparticles.
