The chapter is a tutorial to the description of nanosystems by classical interfacial thermodynamics. After synthetically recalling the necessary basics, it shows by working examples of increasing complexity that several properties of inorganic, biological and hybrid nano-objects are not stand- alone weird subjects but rather aspects of colloid and interface energetics. Touched topics include melting temperature and solubility of nanocrystals, superhydrophobic surfaces and biomolecular machines.

Abstract

The chapter is a tutorial to the description of nanosystems by classical interfacial thermodynamics. After synthetically recalling the necessary basics, it shows by working examples of increasing complexity that several properties of inorganic, biological and hybrid nano-objects are not stand- alone weird subjects but rather aspects of colloid and interface energetics. Touched topics include melting temperature and solubility of nanocrystals, superhydrophobic surfaces and biomolecular machines.
