Question #150952
how surfactant or polymer control shape and size of particles during synthesis
Expert's answer
Addition of surfactants will lead to its physiorption on nanoparticles surface and they will form self-assembled monolayers thus the particle surface will be passivated and the surface energy of nanoparticles will be reduced and the particle-particle interactions will be reduced.
