Abstract :
Simple thermodynamics is discussed to study the properties of nanomaterials. The method is used to study the size and shape dependence of thermodynamic properties of nanomaterial. We applied it to predict the compression, thermal expansion and their size and shape dependence of different type of nanomaterials. The results are compared with the available experimental data. A good agreement between theory and experiment demonstrates the validity of the theory. It is found that the theory reduces the number of parameters and is applicable to different types of nanomaterials, under varying conditions of size, shape, pressure and temperature. The application to different type of nanomaterials demonstrates the universal nature of the theory. Such simplicity, wide applicability and good agreement with experimental data never seen earlier for nanomaterials.
