Hello everybody :smile: I'm not sure if this topic exists but I'm really confused about this thing :shy:
I have to write some work about electrostatic stabilisation in nanomaterials and I read a lot but couldn't find anything directly related to nanoparticles.
I found only electrostatic stabilisation in colloids, so I'm not sure if nanoparticles could be considered as colloidal system. :confused: Could anyone define me how the colloidal systems are related to nanomaterials?

Thank you very much :shy:

A collection of nanoparticles dispersed in some media is a colloidal system. Nanoparticle is just a fancy new name, a bit overused to make grant applications look more attractive.
