MATERIALS CHARACTERIZATION

18 th August 2018

Proper characterization of materials is an important step for all industrial processes. Structural and compositional characterisation of the raw materials and finished products is essential to get products with desired qualities. Broadly speaking, the material characterisation involves the determination of chemical composition, phase purity, structure and morphology of the substance.

For nanostructured materials and powders, the detailed particle size analysis is required for a variety of industrial processes and applications. Structural characterisation and phase identification of solids is achieved by electron microscopy and diffraction based techniques. Surface morphology of wide variety of materials can be obtained from Atomic Force Microscopy.

Different spectroscopic tools including mass spectrometry is useful in identifying chemical
composition of the materials. Here, we bring together experts from academy and industry for a detailed discussion on these topics. In this seminar, the subject specialists, who have vast experience of using and developing these techniques, will share their knowledge and experience with the delegates of the seminar.
