Stability is typically assessed using a variety of techniques:
- Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS): Measures particle size and distribution, indicating aggregation or dispersity. - Zeta Potential: Indicates surface charge, which affects the repulsion forces between nanoparticles and hence their stability. - Electron Microscopy: Provides detailed images of the nanoparticle structure to monitor morphological changes over time. - Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA): Assesses thermal stability by measuring weight changes upon heating.
