Understanding nanoparticle interactions is essential for several reasons:
Stability Nanoparticle stability is critical for their effective use. Uncontrolled interactions can lead to agglomeration or sedimentation, affecting their performance in applications such as drug delivery or catalysis.
Functionality Interactions can be tailored to enhance the functionality of nanoparticles. For example, in targeted drug delivery, surface modification can improve nanoparticle interactions with specific cells or tissues.
