How Do Open Systems Influence Nanomaterial Properties?
In an open system, the properties of nanomaterials can change due to interactions with external elements like temperature, pressure, and chemical environments. For example, the surface chemistry of nanoparticles can be altered when exposed to different solvents or gases, impacting their reactivity and functionality. These interactions can be harnessed to tailor the properties of nanomaterials for specific applications, such as catalysis or drug delivery.
