Hello
I have a question
By using 40nm gold nanoparticle sometimes it shows aggregation if it is not optimized. Will the nanoshells also lead to aggregation?

[@prakashpareek6710]

The surface properties of gold nanoshells can affect their stability and propensity for aggregation. However, their larger size and different structure may result in different aggregation behavior compared to GNPs.
Optimization of the synthesis and surface chemistry of gold nanoshells can help minimize aggregation and improve their stability in various environments.
while both gold nanoparticles and gold nanoshells can potentially undergo aggregation if not properly optimized, the factors influencing aggregation may differ due to their distinct structures and surface properties. Optimization of synthesis conditions, surface functionalization, and stabilization methods are crucial for minimizing aggregation and ensuring the stability of these nanostructures in practical applications. Additionally, experimental characterization and optimization are necessary to determine the specific conditions under which aggregation occurs for each type of nanostructure.
