Development of Characterization Techniques of Various Nanocomposites: A Review
Abstract
Abstract
Nanotechnology is basic research and development that is a phenomenon in laboratories all over the world. A nanometer (nm) is one thousand millionth of a meter. For comparison, a red blood cell is approximately 7,000 nm wide and a water molecule is almost 0.3 nm across. Nano-scale is a scale where the properties of materials can be very different from those at a larger scale. Nanoscience is a study of phenomena and manipulation of materials at atomic, molecular and macromolecular scales, where properties differ considerably from those at a larger scale. Composites made from particles of nanosize ceramics or metals smaller than 100 nm can suddenly become much stronger than predicted by existing materials. This review focuses on overview of characterization methods and their advantages for research and development perspectives.
