Several techniques are employed to enhance nanoparticle dispersion:
Ultrasonication: This method uses high-frequency sound waves to break apart agglomerates and disperse nanoparticles effectively. High-Shear Mixing: High-shear mixers apply intense mechanical forces to disperse particles uniformly. Ball Milling: Mechanical grinding using balls in a rotating cylinder can help achieve finer dispersion. Electrostatic Stabilization: This involves the use of charged molecules to prevent nanoparticles from clumping. Steric Stabilization: The introduction of polymers or surfactants creates a barrier around nanoparticles, preventing agglomeration.
