Here, we rationalize the differences in the CCC values for Ag NMs based on the variability in the experimental conditions, which includes NM and medium physicochemical properties. Capping agents determines NM stability mechanism with citrate, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), and alginate stabilizing NM by electrostatic mechanism; whereas polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), casein, dextrin, tween, branched polyethyleneimine (BPEI), and Gum Arabic stabilizing NMs by steric mechanisms. The CCC values for Ag NMs with different capping agents follow the order citrate ∼ alginate ∼ SDS < casein < dextrin < PVP < tween < branched polyethyleneimine (BPEI) ∼ gum Arabic. For charge stabilized Ag NMs, the CCC increases with the decrease in NM size and buffer concentration and decreases with light irradiation. For sterically stabilized PVP-Ag NMs, the CCC increases with the coating concentration/surface coverage and completely coated Ag NMs do not undergo aggregation even at high salt concentrations.
