The literature describes a relatively new method of regulating the size distribution function of nanoparticles, namely, the process of digestive ripening, which, unlike the Ostwald ripening, implies the dissolution of large nanoparticles and the formation of small ones. However, there is still no reasonable explanation of this phenomenon. The work substantiates the mechanism of the process, based on taking into account the dependence of the critical radius of the nanoparticle on the concentration of monomeric units and the size of the ligand layer.

关于消化成熟机制

文献描述了一种相对较新的调节纳米颗粒尺寸分布函数的方法，即消化熟化过程，与奥斯特瓦尔德熟化不同，它意味着大纳米颗粒的溶解和小颗粒的形成。但是，对于这种现象，目前还没有合理的解释。该工作证实了该过程的机制，基于考虑到纳米粒子的临界半径对单体单元浓度和配体层大小的依赖性。
