solventdriven
Solvent-driven describes processes whose primary driving force is the properties and behavior of the solvent rather than external parameters such as temperature or composition alone. In chemistry, materials science, and related fields, solvent-driven phenomena govern how objects assemble, phase-separate, crystallize, or reorganize during processing. The term is often used when solvent quality, evaporation, diffusion, or solvent exchange dominates the system's evolution.
Mechanisms: Solubility changes caused by mixing, selective solvation, or solvent evaporation can move a system across
Applications: Solvent-driven control is used in the fabrication of nanostructured materials, polymer films, and membranes, for
Considerations: Solvent toxicity, environmental impact, and cost are important, as are processing conditions (temperature, humidity, evaporation
