Functionalization Strategies

Functionalization strategies refer to methods used to modify the surface or structure of materials—like adding specific chemicals or groups—to give them new or enhanced properties. This process enables materials to better interact with their environment, improve performance, or acquire new functionalities, such as increased strength, better electrical conductivity, or improved biocompatibility. These strategies are essential in developing advanced materials for applications in electronics, medicine, energy storage, and environmental protection, allowing scientists and engineers to tailor materials to meet specific needs effectively and efficiently.
