The high surface-to-volume ratio of nanomaterials can also affect their mechanical properties. Nanomaterials often exhibit higher strength, hardness, and toughness compared to their bulk counterparts.

its total volume stays the same the area of exposed surface increases the surface area to volume ratio increases Icing sugar is made from a fine powder, whereas granulated sugar is made from much ...

They are known for their high surface area to volume ratio, flexibility in surface functionalities, and superior mechanical performance compared to their macroscale counterparts. This makes nanofibers ...

Nanoparticles have a very high surface area to volume ratio and make excellent catalysts. Self-cleaning window panes have nanoparticulate coatings. When light hits these coatings, they break down ...
