How Are Nanomaterials Characterized for Biological Applications?
Characterizing nanomaterials for biological applications involves assessing their size, shape, surface charge, and chemical composition. Techniques such as Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS), and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) are commonly used. These characterizations help predict how nanomaterials will interact with biological systems.
