METHOD OF MODIFYING PROPERTIES OF NANOPARTICLES

摘要

The present teachings are directed toward methods of modifying the properties of a composition by providing particles of a first composition having dimensions of less than about 3 nanometers and a substrate of a second composition. The particles of the first composition are placed on the substrate, whereby the particles of the first composition and the substrate interact to modify at least one property of the particles of the first composition relative to the same property of particles of the first composition having dimensions greater than about 10 nanometers placed on a substrate of the second composition.
