What Methods are Used to Improve Solubility of Nanoparticles?
Several methods can be employed to improve the solubility of nanoparticles:
1. Surface Modification: Coating nanoparticles with surfactants, polymers, or other molecules can enhance their solubility by improving compatibility with the solvent. 2. Functionalization: Adding functional groups to the surface of nanoparticles can increase their solubility in specific solvents. 3. Use of Solubilizing Agents: Employing solubilizing agents like cyclodextrins or using techniques such as micelle formation can aid in improving nanoparticle solubility.
