What Techniques are Employed for Thermal Regulation at the Nanoscale?
Several techniques are utilized to manage thermal properties effectively:
Nanofluids: These are fluids containing suspended nanoparticles that enhance thermal conductivity and heat transfer. Phase-Change Materials: Materials that absorb or release heat during phase transitions, aiding in temperature control. Thermal Interface Materials: Composites that improve heat transfer between surfaces, often incorporating nanomaterials for better performance. Heat Sinks: Nanoscale heat sinks with high surface areas to dissipate heat effectively.
