Several key parameters are measured to characterize nanomaterials quantitatively: - Particle Size: Typically measured in nanometers (nm), it is crucial for determining the behavior and reactivity of nanomaterials. - Surface Area: High surface area to volume ratio is a defining characteristic of nanomaterials, affecting their catalytic and adsorptive properties. - Zeta Potential: Indicates the stability of colloidal dispersions. - Electrical Conductivity: Important for applications in electronics and sensor technology. - Mechanical Properties: Including hardness, elasticity, and tensile strength.
