Van der Waals forces tend to bring nanoparticles close together, causing them to stick. To prevent this, nanoparticles are often coated with molecules that repel each other, such as polymers or surfactants. This coating provides a barrier that prevents the particles from coming into contact and sticking together.
it means how things are sticking together
Michael Faraday is generally considered to be the first person to conduct scientific research on nanoparticles.
Silver nanoparticles are antibacterial, and when embedded in plastics for use in the medical field, are non-toxic. This makes silver nanoparticles useful in plastic applications such as surgical catheters.
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.
The extracellular matrix is the sticky coating on the outside of cells that keeps them joined together.
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.

Some swimsuits are made with nanoparticles such as titanium dioxide or silver nanoparticles. Titanium dioxide nanoparticles can provide UV protection, while silver nanoparticles may help inhibit bacterial growth and odor.
Nanoparticles are put into mascara\'s to reduce clumping. Nanoparticles are made out of the soot from a candle flame.

Cluster nanoparticles refer to aggregates of nanoparticles that are grouped together, often exhibiting distinct physical and chemical properties compared to individual nanoparticles. Nanoparticles themselves are tiny particles with dimensions in the nanometer scale (1 to 100 nanometers) and can have unique characteristics due to their small size, such as increased reactivity and surface area. These properties make both individual nanoparticles and their clusters useful in various fields, including medicine, electronics, and material science. The behavior and applications of cluster nanoparticles can differ significantly from those of larger particles or bulk materials.
because teh nanoparticles are so good
take it to the vet
Flapper in tank sticking or not seating properly. Needs replaced.
