Reverse coarsening and the control of particle size 2 distribution through surfactant
The minimization of surface area, as a result of the minimization of (positive) surface energy, is a well-known driving force behind the spontaneous broadening of (nano) particle size distribution. We show that surfactant molecules binding to particle surfaces effectively decrease the surface energy...
