Best Answer

Aggrgation of nanoparticles is where they stick together. This is undesirable in nanoparticle solutions, we want each nanoparticle to remain seperate. To combat this differing amounts of salts can be added to stop agglomeration, sodium citrate is one that is used for silver and gold nanoparticles.

The zeta potential of the nanoparticle is a masure of its overall charge, ideally we want nanoparticles with a high positive or negative zeta potential as like charges repel each other and will stop nanoparticles from agglomerating.

Do nanoparticles have colors?

We cant really see nanoparticles to tell if they have colours, some do depending on what they are made from, but more commonly we see nanoparticles as a suspension in water, ethanol or some other solvent. These solutions can give rise to some intense colours, this is due to raylaigh scattering that takes place from the nanoparticles. A phemonon called surface plasmon resonance also has a part to play in the colours that we see for colloidal nanoparticles.
