Nanomaterial Characterization: An Introduction

• Introduces basic knowledge for nanomaterial characterization focusing on key properties and the different analyticaltechniques available
• Provides a quick reference to different analytical methods for a given property highlighting their pros and cons
• Presents numerous case studies, ranging from characterizing nanomaterials in coffee creamer suspension to measurement of airborne dust exposure levels
• Provides an introduction to other topics that are strongly related to nanomaterial characterization e.g. synthesis, reference material and metrology
• Includes state of the art techniques: scanning tunneling microscopy under extreme conditions, novel strategy for biological characterization and methods to visualize multidimensional characterization data
