How do temperature and pressure affect nanomaterials?
Temperature and pressure are critical parameters in the synthesis and application of nanomaterials. At elevated temperatures, nanoparticles may undergo sintering or coalescence, altering their properties. High pressure can induce phase transitions or change the crystal structure of nanomaterials. Understanding the thermodynamic response to temperature and pressure helps in controlling the fabrication processes and ensuring the stability of nanodevices under operational conditions.
