Performance validation involves a series of tests to confirm that nanodevices and nanomaterials meet their intended functional specifications:
1. Mechanical Testing: Techniques like nanoindentation and tensile testing measure the mechanical properties such as hardness, elasticity, and tensile strength. 2. Electrical Testing: For electronic nanodevices, parameters like conductivity, resistivity, and carrier mobility are assessed. 3. Thermal Testing: Methods like Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) are used to examine thermal stability and heat capacity.
