How Does Brownian Motion Influence Nanoparticle Behavior?
Nanoparticles suspended in a fluid are constantly bombarded by the fluid molecules, leading to their random movement. This motion impacts the diffusion and aggregation of nanoparticles. For instance, in biological systems, Brownian motion helps in the efficient transport of drug delivery nanoparticles to their target sites. Conversely, it can also lead to the undesired clumping of nanoparticles, affecting their functionality and distribution.
