What is the Role of Acid Transactions in Surface Modification?
Surface modification of nanomaterials is critical for improving their compatibility with different environments and enhancing their performance in various applications. Acids can be employed to introduce functional groups onto the surface of nanoparticles, making them more hydrophilic or hydrophobic, depending on the application. This can enhance the dispersion of nanoparticles in solvents or their interaction with biological systems.
