PURIFICATION AND CONCENTRATION OF NANOPARTICLES USING DIAFILTRATION: SCIENTIFIC OPERATING PROCEDURE SERIES, SOP-P-1
Miller, L.F. and M.A. Chappell. ERDC/EL SR-15-4, 24 pp, 2015

Nanoparticle (NP) solutions, especially those synthesized in the lab, may contain additional solutes associated with synthesis and storage (e.g., ionic salts, suspension stabilizers, pH buffers, chelating agents). These contaminants can cause instability in the NP suspensions and otherwise modify suspension behavior in a way not representative of a pure solution. This report describes a diafiltration method used for controlling the initial properties of NP dispersion. http://el.erdc.usace.army.mil/elpubs/pdf/srel15-4.pdf
