What Factors Influence Thermal Degradation in Nanomaterials?
Several factors can influence the thermal degradation of nanomaterials:
Material Composition: Different nanomaterials, such as carbon nanotubes and metal oxides, have varying thermal stability. Particle Size: The size of nanoparticles can affect their heat dissipation properties, with smaller particles often having higher surface area-to-volume ratios, leading to faster degradation. Environment: The presence of oxygen and other reactive gases can accelerate thermal degradation through oxidation and other chemical reactions. Temperature: Higher temperatures generally increase the rate of degradation.
