A Review Of Characterization Tools And Techniques For Nanomaterials And Nanocomposites

The heterogeneous/hybrid materials known as nanocomposites are created at the nanometric scale by combining polymers with inorganic solids (such as oxides or clays). It is discovered that their structures are more intricate than those of microcomposites. The characterization of nanomaterials is important for understanding their properties and applications. This review describes the instruments and experimental setups utilized for various measurements towards the characterization of the synthesized nanocrystals. The techniques adopted to characterize the nanoparticles are X-ray diffraction (XRD), SEM, EDX, TEM, DC-Conductivity, Particle Size analyzer (PSA), UV – Visible Spectroscopy, Thermo Gravimetric Analysis/Differential Thermal Analyzer (TG/DTA).
