Аннотация

The surface chemistry and functionalization of nanomaterials play a crucial role in determining their physicochemical properties and applications in various fields, including medicine, catalysis, and electronics. This study explores the fundamental principles governing surface interactions, modification techniques, and the impact of functional groups on nanomaterial performance. A combination of spectroscopic, microscopic, and computational methods was employed to analyze surface characteristics and functionalization efficiency. The results demonstrated that covalent and non-covalent functionalization strategies significantly alter the stability, reactivity, and biocompatibility of nanomaterials. Furthermore, surface modifications were found to enhance dispersion in different media and improve interaction with biological systems. This research provides a comprehensive understanding of surface chemistry mechanisms and offers insights into optimizing functionalization approaches for targeted applications. The findings contribute to advancing nanotechnology by enabling precise control over nanomaterial surfaces for improved performance in industrial and biomedical applications.
