Abstract
⺠Organic solvents serve dual role in controlling nanoparticle-amphiphile interactions. ⺠Below the critical displacer concentration (cdc) organic solvents act as displacers. ⺠Below cdc, organic solvents disfavor surface micelle formation. ⺠Good correlation exists between cdc and silica-organic solvent hydrogen bonding. ⺠Above cdc, no amphiphiles remain on nanoparticles and organic solvent acts as cosolvent.
