Construction of coherent nano quantitative structure–properties relationships (nano-QSPR) models and catastrophe theory
Ramon Carbó‐Dorca, Emili Besalú · SAR and QSAR in environmental research · 2011
The structure one can associate to coherent nano-quantitative structure-properties relationship (nano-QSPR) models is briefly discussed. Such nano-QSPR model functions are described as possessing three parts: a particle size polynomial; a typical QSPR function; and a special effects function. The expected behaviour of the particle size part is discussed from the point of view of catastrophe theory, in this way providing a plausible general picture about the emergence of new properties of nanoparticles and holographic location of information content.
