During the synthesis of nanomaterials, controlling cohesive forces is paramount. Excessive cohesion can lead to the agglomeration of nanoparticles, which can be undesirable for certain applications. Conversely, insufficient cohesion might result in the dispersion of particles, making it difficult to form stable nanostructures. Techniques such as surface modification and the use of surfactants are often employed to manage these cohesive forces effectively.
