How is Melting Temperature Measured for Nanomaterials?
Measuring the melting temperature of nanomaterials can be challenging due to their small size. Common techniques include:
Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC): DSC measures the heat flow associated with phase transitions, providing information about the melting temperature. Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM):TEM can be used to observe structural changes in nanoparticles as they are heated, giving insights into their melting behavior. Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA): TGA measures weight changes in a material as a function of temperature, which can be correlated with melting.
