How Does Chemical Treatment Enhance Nanomaterials?
Chemical treatment techniques can significantly enhance the properties of nanomaterials in several ways:
1. Surface Modification: Chemical treatments can alter the surface properties of nanoparticles, making them more hydrophilic or hydrophobic as needed for specific applications. 2. Functionalization: By attaching specific chemical groups to the surface of nanomaterials, they can be made more compatible with biological systems or more reactive for industrial processes. 3. Doping: Introducing foreign atoms into the crystal structure of nanomaterials can improve their electrical, optical, and magnetic properties.
