Several common methods are used for the chemical treatment of nanomaterials:
1. Sol-Gel Process: A method for producing solid materials from small molecules, often used for synthesizing nanoparticles with controlled size and shape. 2. Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD): A process where volatile precursors react or decompose on a substrate to form a solid material, often used for coating surfaces with nanomaterials. 3. Electrochemical Methods: Techniques such as electroplating and anodization are used to deposit nanomaterials onto surfaces or to create nanostructured surfaces. 4. Self-Assembly: This process involves the spontaneous organization of molecules into structured arrangements, often guided by chemical interactions.
