Abstract
Many methods have been used for evaluating physicochemical properties of nanomaterials (NMs). Characterization of nanoparticles (NPs) includes the determination not only of size and shape but also polymorph, crystal structure, electronic structure, surface properties, purity, stability, which are relevant to their physiochemical interactions with their environment. These methods include techniques such as X-ray spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, Photoluminescence spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, Mass spectroscopy, electron microscopy, light scattering, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, as well as methods in the categories of thermal analysis, electrical analysis, electrophoresis, and chromatography. In this section, the physicochemical characterization techniques that have been used in this dissertation will be introduced in relation to NP characteristics or properties studied.
