Abstract:Nanoparticles (NPs) are increasingly being used in medical, electronic, energy, and agricultural applications due to their unique properties that often arise due to the high surface area-to-volume ratio. However, this characteristic along with the high reactivity of NPs make these materials highly dynamic in environmental settings. Thus, several transformations can take place when these materials enter the environment that determines their transport, toxicity, and fate of them in our environment. These transfo… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
