Abstract

Designing and fabrication of materials with good thermal characteristics is very important for multifunctional applications of nanomaterials. Thermal analysis is a group of techniques that characterize the thermal properties of materials. With these techniques, changes in the temperature of the sample is analyzed. No single thermal analysis tool or technique works best in all situations. Accurate thermal assessments require a combination of different analytical techniques. This chapter presents the basic principles of thermal systems and describes some of the techniques and tools available to complete thermal characterization of nanomaterials.
