Why Are Thermodynamic Properties Important in Nanotechnology?
At the nanoscale, the surface area to volume ratio is significantly higher than in bulk materials. This means that surface properties play a more prominent role, affecting thermodynamic behavior. Evaluating these properties helps in understanding phenomena such as quantum confinement, surface energy, and thermal conductivity. These insights are critical for applications in nanomedicine, nanoelectronics, and nanomaterials.
