Understanding and controlling retention time is critical for several reasons:
Drug Delivery Systems: In pharmaceutical applications, the retention time of nanoparticles in the body can significantly affect the efficacy of drug delivery, targeting specific tissues or cells, and minimizing side effects. Environmental Impact: Assessing how long nanoparticles persist in the environment helps in evaluating their potential ecological risks and designing safer nanomaterials. Industrial Processes: In manufacturing and other industrial applications, the retention time of nanomaterials in reactors or other systems can influence the efficiency and yield of the process.
