What are Common Challenges in Particle Characterization?
Characterizing nanoparticles presents several challenges:
1. Agglomeration: Nanoparticles tend to stick together, making it difficult to measure individual properties. 2. Diverse Morphologies: Different shapes and structures require multiple characterization techniques. 3. Sample Preparation: Proper preparation is critical to avoid altering particle properties. 4. Resolution Limits: Some techniques have limited resolution, which might not be sufficient for very small nanoparticles. 5. Interpretation of Data: Requires expertise to accurately interpret complex data.
