Several factors can influence surface sensitivity in nanomaterials:
1. Surface Chemistry: The types of atoms, molecules, and functional groups present on the surface can significantly alter its reactivity and interactions. 2. Surface Structure: The arrangement of atoms and the presence of defects or nanopatterning can affect surface properties. 3. Surface Energy: Higher surface energy typically leads to higher reactivity, which can be both advantageous and challenging depending on the application. 4. Environmental Conditions: Factors like temperature, humidity, and the presence of other chemicals can alter surface properties and their sensitivity.
