Conclusions
• Current theories do not accurately describe forces for small nanoparticles
• Solvation forces can be important for colloidal nanoparticles
• Solvation forces are strongly dependent on particle size, shape, surface roughness, particle-solvent interactions, and solvent structure
• Solvent-nanoparticle suspensions can be engineered for stability, assembly, environmental impact……
