Nanomaterial Characterization
Providing various properties of nanomaterials and the various methods available for their characterization
Over the course of the last few decades, research activity on nanomaterials has gained considerable press coverage. The use of nanomaterials has meant that consumer products can be made lighter, stronger, esthetically more pleasing, and less expensive. The significant role of nanomaterials in improving the quality of life is clear, resulting in faster computers, cleaner energy production, target-driven pharmaceuticals, and better construction materials. It is not surprising, therefore, that nanomaterial research has really taken off, spanning across different scientific disciplines from material science to nanotoxicology. A critical part of any nanomaterial research, however, is the need to characterize physicochemical properties of the nanomaterials, which is not a trivial matter.
Nanomaterial Characterization: An Introduction is dedicated to understanding the key physicochemical properties and their characterization methods. Each chapter begins by giving an overview of the topic before a case study is presented. The purpose of the case study is to demonstrate how the reader may make use of the background information presented to them and show how this can be translated to solve a nanospecific application scenario. Thus, it will be useful for researchers in helping them design experimental investigations. The book begins with a general overview of the subject, thus giving the reader a solid foundation to nanomaterial characterization.
Nanomaterial Characterization: An Introduction features:
The book is written in such a way that both students and experts in other fields of science will find the information useful, whether they are in academia, industry, or regulation, or those whose analytical background may be limited.There is also an extensive list of references associated with every chapter to encourage further reading.

Similar features are observed in other samples, and it is concluded that this is a typical artifact due to sample topography.

To measure is to know. If you cannot measure it, you cannot improve it
Lord Kelvin (1824–1907)
Since joining the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) (UK's national measurement institute) in 2004, I have been fortunate enough to have worked in numerous projects related to nanoscience and nanotechnology. During this time, the nature of my research activities varied widely across different disciplines, from the applications of nanomaterials in surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy to understanding their potential toxicological implications. A critical part of the research throughout the years, however, has been the need to characterize physicochemical properties of the nanomaterials. This has not always been trivial.
The idea for this book came from my involvement in a European Commission Framework 7 research project entitled MARINA (Managing Risks of Nanomaterials). One of the goals of this project was to harmonize activities and to establish a common platform to ultimately support the scientific infrastructure for risk management of nanomaterials. Although the relevance of MARINA is for nanosafety, the idea of having a common approach can be extended to other application areas. This, coupled with my interest in measurement science, ultimately laid the foundation for this multi-authored book.
The book begins with a general introduction, which aims to give the reader a solid foundation to nanomaterial characterization. Chapters 2 and 3 focus on two principal topics: nanomaterial synthesis and reference nanomaterials, which serve as useful background for the rest of the book. Chapters 4–10 constitute the very heart of this book, dedicated to key physicochemical properties and their measurements. Undoubtedly, it is beyond the scope of the book to cover all properties and only several key properties, such as particle size distribution by number, solubility, surface area, surface chemistry, mechanical/tribological, and dustiness, are covered. Chapters 11–13 are devoted to state-of-the-art techniques, in which three very different sets of characterization tools are presented: (i) scanning tunneling microscopy operated under extreme conditions; (ii) novel strategy for biological characterization of nanomaterials; and (iii) methods to handle and visualize multidimensional nanomaterial characterization data.
Most of the chapters this book begin by giving an overview of the topic area before a case study is presented. The purpose of the case study is to demonstrate how the reader may make use of background information presented to them and show how this can be translated to solve a nano-specific application scenario. Thus, it will be useful for researchers to help them design experimental investigations.
The book is written in such a way that both students and experts in other fields of science will find the information useful. My intention is that it will appeal to a range of audience outside the research field, whether they are in academia, industry, or regulation and is particularly useful for readers whose analytical background may be limited. There is also an extensive list of references associated with every chapter, to encourage further reading.
Finally, it has taken me just less than 2 years to complete this book and so, I must say a few words of thanks. First, I am grateful to all of the authors for their chapter contributions. Second, I thank the many people who have encouraged me to publish this book: my Wiley editor, my husband Keith F. E. Pratt, family, and friends. Special thanks go to Sinta Tantra, for her generosity in donating her artwork, which has been used for the cover of this book. The cover is abstract art that depicts the image of a nanomaterial surface at atomic resolution!

Over the course of the past few decades, the word “nanomaterial” started to shine in reporting and publishing; nanomaterial thus became the new buzzword, giving the impression of a new type of technology. In fact, nanomaterials are not new at all and can be found in everyday lives, with most people not being aware of their existence. Nanomaterials exist in nature, for example, in volcanic ashes, sea sprays and smoke [1]. In relation to manufactured nanomaterials, they have existed as early as the 4th century. The Lycurgus Cup, a glass cup made with tiny proportions of gold and silver nanoparticles is an example of Roman era nanotechnology. The use of nanoparticles for beautiful art continued ever since, and by 1600s it is not uncommon for alchemists to create gold nanoparticles for stained glass windows. These days, there are far more uses; nanomaterials thus represent a growing class of material already introduced into multiple business sectors. For example, in early 20th century, tire companies used carbon black in car tires, primarily for physical reinforcement (e.g., abrasion resistance, tensile strength) and thermal conductivity to help spread heat load. Although nanomaterials have been around for a long time, it was only the invention of the scanning tunneling microscope in 1981 and the discovery of fullerenes in 1986 that really marked the beginning of the current nanoscience revolution. This led nanoscientists to conduct research, to study their behavior, so as to control their properties and harness their power.
