Which Solvents Are Commonly Used?

Common solvents in nanotechnology include:
Water: Widely used due to its non-toxicity and high polarity. Suitable for synthesizing hydrophilic nanoparticles.
Ethanol: A polar solvent often used for stabilizing and dispersing nanoparticles.
Toluene: A non-polar solvent ideal for synthesizing hydrophobic nanoparticles.
Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO): Used for its ability to dissolve a wide range of substances.
Acetone: Commonly used for its volatility and ability to evaporate quickly, leaving behind the synthesized nanoparticles.
