Characterization of Nanomaterials in Complex Environmental and Biological Media

Characterization of Nanomaterials in Complex Environmental and Biological Media covers the novel properties of nanomaterials and their applications to consumer products and industrial processes. The book fills the growing gap in this challenging area, bringing together disparate strands in chemistry, physics, biology, and other relevant disciplines. It provides an overview on nanotechnology, nanomaterials, nano(eco)toxicology, and nanomaterial characterization, focusing on the characterization of a range of nanomaterial physicochemical properties of relevance to environmental and toxicological studies and their available analytical techniques. Readers will find a multidisciplinary approach that provides highly skilled scientists, engineers, and technicians with the tools they need to understand and interpret complicated sets of data obtained through sophisticated analytical techniques. Addresses the requirements, challenges, and solutions for nanomaterial characterization in environmentally complex mediaFocuses on technique limitations, appropriate data collection, data interpretation, and analysisAids in understanding and comparing nanomaterial characterization data reported in the literature using different analytical toolsIncludes case studies of characterization relevant complex media to enhance understanding INDICE: Part I: Nanomaterials and characterization Ch 1: Critical issues in the ecotoxicology of nanomaterials, Victoria Jennings, Rhys Goodhead, Charles R.
