What are the Challenges in Optimizing Particle Size?
1. Agglomeration: Preventing agglomeration of nanoparticles is a significant challenge. Using surfactants or stabilizers can help but may introduce contaminants. 2. Reproducibility: Achieving consistent particle sizes across different batches can be difficult, especially in industrial-scale productions. 3. Cost: Methods to control particle size precisely can be expensive and may require sophisticated equipment and materials. 4. Scalability: Processes that work well on a small scale may not be easily scalable to industrial levels without losing control over particle size.
