[Application Overview] 1 QCM-D studies of engineered nanoparticles Nanoparticles, typically in the size range of 1-100 nm, are used increasingly in vari- ous applications; e.g., better catalysts, sorbents, optical or electronic materials, filler materials, and drug carriers. It is of interest to further optimize particular nano- material functions, as well as to avoid potential adverse effects of nanoparticles for human health and the environment. QCM-D offers a unique way of studying nanoparticle interactions both in liquid and gas phase. Engineered nanoparticles are prepared from all types of materials; metals, ceramics, polymers and carbon materi- als (e.g., graphene and carbon nanotubes) and also as composites of these materials. Both physical and chemical properties of nanoparticles may be different compared to bulk materials. Such size-dependent effects are usually stronger the smaller the particles are. Aggregation and deposition kinetics The rate of mass change (slope of the sensor frequency) and the [1]. A higher deposition rate was obtained by coating the silica rate of rigidity change (slope of the energy dissipation) versus time surface with positively charged poly-L-lysine (PLL) (curve with the plots are useful indicators of particle behavior during deposition highest slope). on surfaces.
