Nanomaterials are widely used in several biomedical and environmental applications, due to their ideal properties. However, the synthetic and characterization procedure requires significant costs and has a negative environmental impact. Various methods are available in order to control the pre-synthesis design of the produced materials, predicting their behavior and minimizing the series of experiments. Multi-Criteria Decision-Making is proposed in this study in order to determine the best combination of the physicochemical parameters and to define the best alternative among fifteen different samples of nanostructured titanium dioxide. In particular, the Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) method was applied to achieve a final ranking of the available alternatives by avoiding several of the trials that would follow testing the biological effect and the photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants. Thus, this approach helps us to stay environmentally and ethically correct, saving time, money, and energy and also providing an optimization of the nanomaterials that are developed.
纳米材料由于其理想的特性,被广泛应用于生物医学和环境等多个领域。然而,其合成和特性描述的过程需要花费大量的成本,并且对环境有负面影响。为了控制所制备材料的预合成设计,预测其性能并尽量减少一系列实验,有许多方法可用。本研究提出了多准则决策分析方法,以确定物理化学参数的最佳组合,并在 15 种不同的纳米结构二氧化钛样品中确定最佳的替代品。具体来说,采用逼近理想解排序法(TOPSIS)对备选方案进行最终排序,避免了生物效应和有机污染物光催化降解等多项后续测试,从而节省了时间、金钱和能源,同时优化了所开发的纳米材料。
