Abstract
In the field of nanoscience, a series of surface chemical modifications or coatings have been designed to acquire the new physicochemical properties or to enhance the certain aspects of physicochemical properties. Meanwhile, some of the surface chemical modifications or coatings also have the beneficial effects in reducing the potential toxicity of nanomaterials. In this chapter, we focus on three important surface chemical modifications, polyethylene glycol (PEG) modification, ZnS or fetal bovine serum (FBS) surface coating, and carboxyl (–COOH) modification, to introduce the beneficial effects of these surface chemical modifications in reducing the toxicity of nanomaterials in nematodes.
