How Do Viscoelastic Properties Affect Nanomaterials?
At the nanoscale, the viscoelastic properties of materials can lead to significant changes in behavior. For instance, the surface-to-volume ratio is much higher, which can intensify the material's response to external stimuli. Nanomaterials with viscoelastic properties can exhibit unique mechanical and thermal properties, enabling new functionalities in nanodevices. For example, nanocomposites with viscoelastic matrices can achieve enhanced toughness and resilience.
