How Does Solvent Polarity Affect Nanoparticle Formation?
Solvent polarity significantly impacts the self-assembly and aggregation of nanoparticles. Polar solvents, like water, can stabilize charged nanoparticles, while non-polar solvents are better for hydrophobic nanoparticles. The choice of polarity can also influence the surface chemistry and functionalization of nanoparticles.
