Choosing the right solvent depends on the specific requirements of the nanotechnology application. Factors to consider include:
Compatibility: The solvent should be compatible with the nanomaterial and any other reagents used in the process. Polarity: The polarity of the solvent should match the polarity of the nanomaterial to ensure effective dissolution and stabilization. Safety: Consider the toxicity and environmental impact of the solvent. Boiling Point: Choose a solvent with an appropriate boiling point for the synthesis temperature. Viscosity: Ensure the solvent's viscosity is suitable for the desired mixing and reaction rates.
