CHAPTER 3. Characterization of Functional Hybrid Nanomaterials

Abstract

Arrangement, spatial configuration and chemical interactions of organic and inorganic elements in hybrid structures have led to the generation of various materials that range in size from nanometers to macrometers. In order to analyze the physical, chemical and also mechanical properties of these newly emerged compounds, a combination of different analytical techniques is necessary. This chapter provides a broad overview on the characterization strategies used to study the features of functional hybrid nanomaterials.
