Abstract
Advances in nanomaterials have opened a new era in various fields such as industrial, medical, commercial, and consumer products owing to their unique and novel physical and chemical properties. A wide variety of techniques can be used to analyze and characterize nanoparticles depending on the application of interest. Characterization refers to the study of material features such as composition, structure, and various properties such as physical, chemical, electrical, magnetic, etc. This chapter summarizes the techniques that are commonly used to investigate the size, shape, surface properties, composition, purity, and stability of nanomaterials, along with their benefits and drawbacks. Various characterization techniques such as optical (imaging), electron probe, photon probe, ion particle probe, and thermodynamic techniques are discussed briefly in this chapter.
