Determining solvent compatibility involves several steps:
Solubility Tests: Initial tests to check if the nanomaterial dissolves or remains stable in the solvent. Chemical Stability: Ensuring that the solvent does not react chemically with the nanomaterial. Thermal Stability: Verifying that the solvent does not degrade at operating temperatures. Viscosity and Polarity: Matching the solvent's properties with the requirements of the specific application.
