Benefits of nanoparticle characterization

Nanotechnology is redefining technologies in the textile industry, in electronics, energy sector and in medicine due to their unique properties at the nanoscale. Their high surface areas allow nanoparticles to act as chemical catalysts in industrial applications while their electrical, thermal, optical and magnetic properties have led to advances across industries. 

 

Characterizing the size, shape and composition of nanoparticles is key to understanding their unique properties. Researchers worldwide are using intuitive or (S/TEM) in combination to obtain nanometer-, and even sub-nanometer-, scale images and chemical data. These powerful techniques provide valuable insights into the arrangement and potential functions of nanoparticles.
