Theoretical formulation for the effect of temperature on nanomaterials

摘要

A simple theoretical formulation is developed to study the effect of temperature on nanomaterials. An alternative method is also discussed using thermodynamic analysis. The formulation discussed in the earlier literature may also be obtained from the present theory. To show the real connection with the nanomaterials, we have studied the effect of temperature. We have considered different nanomaterials viz. Zirconia, Ag, ZnO, NiO and Al composites. The results obtained are compared with the experimental data. A good agreement between theory and experiment demonstrates the validity of the present work.
