Hey guys. I'm not sure if this is the correct section or the article section to post this or not. If it isn't then I do apologize.
I was reading a lot of posts about capping and uncapping and I don't know what it means.
So then I searched for the meaning and I read definition in the glossary: "Capping Agent: A substance which binds to the surface and covers a nanoparticle usually for the purpose of particle size stabilization."
I do apologize, I'm having troubling understanding it. I still don't know what it means and what it does. Could anybody explain it in a simpler way please? Examples, pictures, comparisons or anything that might be helpful. I'm more of a visual learner. I'm still learning a lot of things here.
Thank you in advance.
