How are the Properties of Nanomaterials Characterized?
Characterization of nanomaterials is critical to understanding their properties and potential uses. Techniques include:
- Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM): Provides high-resolution images of nanomaterials. - Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM): Offers surface images with high magnification. - X-Ray Diffraction (XRD): Determines the crystalline structure. - Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM): Measures surface topography at the nanoscale.
