Low temperatures can significantly alter the properties of nanomaterials. For instance:
- Electrical Conductivity: The electrical resistance of certain nanomaterials decreases as temperature drops, leading to enhanced conductivity or even superconductivity. - Thermal Conductivity: At low temperatures, some materials exhibit reduced phonon scattering, which can either increase or decrease thermal conductivity based on the material's structure. - Mechanical Properties: Mechanical properties such as strength and brittleness can change, affecting the material's performance in various applications.
