How Does Nanotechnology Achieve Improved Penetration?
The improved penetration of nanomaterials is achieved through several mechanisms:
Size and Surface Area: The small size and high surface area-to-volume ratio of nanoparticles allow them to interact more closely with surfaces and tissues. Surface Modification: Nanoparticles can be functionalized with specific chemical groups to enhance their affinity for target cells or surfaces. Shape and Structure: The shape and structural properties of nanoparticles, such as being rod-shaped or spherical, can influence their ability to penetrate different environments.
