Why is Thermodynamics Important in Nanotechnology?
Thermodynamics governs the behavior of materials and systems at the nanoscale. Nanomaterials often exhibit unique thermodynamic properties due to their high surface area to volume ratio, quantum effects, and reduced dimensionality. These unique properties can significantly influence the stability, phase transitions, and reactivity of nanomaterials, making thermodynamics a fundamental aspect of nanotechnology research and applications.
