This study aims to examine the correlation between the dimensions of nanomaterials and their impact on thermal properties via comprehensive experimental assessments. The nanomaterials exhibited distinct particle sizes, ranging from 5 nm to 40 nm, and a diverse range of surface areas, varying from 80 m2/g to 20 m2/g. The experiment, conducted using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), discovered a range of melting temperatures between 120 degrees Celsius and 140 degrees Celsius. This signifies a disparity of 16.67% in the proportion between the smallest and largest nanomaterials. Furthermore, the thermal conductivity tests yielded values ranging from 50 W/m·K to 30 W/m·K, demonstrating a substantial range of forty percent. The findings illuminate a clear relationship between size and properties, revealing that smaller nanoparticles have lower melting points but higher thermal conductivities. This emphasizes the notable impact of nanomaterial size on the thermal properties of these materials. This study enhances the advancement of nanomaterial science and technology by offering crucial insights into the process of customizing nanomaterial design for specific thermal applications.
