Purpose

National Science Foundation awarded $405K to The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York for Solvent-induced interactions for controlling nanoparticle adhesion at nanostructured liquid-solid interfaces -this project will produce new fundamental knowledge to understand and control the physical adhesion and aggregation of nanomaterials in liquid by considering the effects of so-called solvent-induced interactions between nanoparticles and surfaces with nanoscale topography. solvent-induced interactions are a class of nanoscale interactions that occur because liquid molecules rearrange themselves when confined in nanoscopic spaces between solid surfaces. these interactions significantly influence how nanomaterials cluster together and adhere to surfaces. this research will improve our ability to predict and control these behaviors, which is crucial for creating accurate models for the toxicity and…
