In order to study the dependence of water solubility and hydration behavior nanoparticles on their surface polarity, we designed polar with varying polarity by assigning atomic partial charge C60. The nanoparticle is enhanced several orders magnitude after introduction polarity. Nevertheless, when grows beyond a certain value (qM), continuously decreases level nonpolar nanoparticle. It should be noted that such qM comparable variety functional groups. behaviors were then studied investigate non-monotonic interaction between stronger than counterpart, which facilitate dissolution nanoparticles. On other hand, also reduces molecules enhances may hinder dispersion. Besides, disturbs even rearranges structure Interestingly, less ordered tends have higher solubility.
