How Do Non-Bonded Interactions Affect Nanomaterial Properties?
Non-bonded interactions can influence a wide range of properties including mechanical strength, optical properties, and thermal stability. For instance, in carbon nanotubes (CNTs), non-bonded interactions between individual tubes can affect their electrical conductivity and mechanical strength. Similarly, in quantum dots, these interactions can impact their photoluminescence properties, which are crucial for applications in imaging and displays.
