How is Chemical Inertness Achieved in Nanomaterials?
The chemical inertness of nanomaterials can be achieved or enhanced through various methods:
1. Surface Passivation: Coating the surface of nanomaterials with inert substances, such as silicon dioxide or polymers, can prevent unwanted chemical reactions. 2. Doping: Introducing certain atoms into the nanomaterial's structure can enhance its chemical stability. 3. Functionalization: Adding specific functional groups to the surface of nanomaterials can make them chemically inert while still allowing for desired interactions.
