For example, nanoparticles’ abilities to catalyze growth of single-walled carbon nanotubes in a nanoparticle megalibrary can be determined by Raman spectroscopy. [3] Researchers have also identified nanoparticle catalysts for the degradation of rhodamine B , a dye that has been linked to cancer, by using fluorescence confocal microscopy to ...
Definitions vary, but nanocrystalline material is commonly defined as a crystallite (grain) size below 100 nm. Grain sizes from 100 to 500 nm are typically considered "ultrafine" grains. The grain size of a NC sample can be estimated using x-ray diffraction. In materials with very small grain sizes, the diffraction peaks will be broadened.
Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) is a small-angle scattering technique by which nanoscale density differences in a sample can be quantified. This means that it can determine nanoparticle size distributions, resolve the size and shape of (monodisperse) macromolecules, determine pore sizes and characteristic distances of partially ordered materials.

A nanoparticle or ultrafine particle is a particle of matter 1 to 100 nanometres (nm) in diameter. [1] [2] The term is sometimes used for larger particles, up to 500 nm, or fibers and tubes that are less than 100 nm in only two directions.
A nanoparticle sizer, also known as a nanoparticle analyzer, is a device used to measure the size, size distribution, and concentration of nanoparticles in a sample. [ 27 ] [ 28 ] The size of nanoparticles is typically in the range of 1 to 100 nanometers (nm), and they are much smaller than the particles that can be measured with conventional ...
Particle with dimensions between 1 × 10 −7 and 1 × 10 −4 m.. Note 1: The lower limit between micro- and nano-sizing is still a matter of debate.. Note 2: To be consistent with the prefix “micro” and the range imposed by the definition,
Ultrafine particles (UFPs) are particulate matter of nanoscale size (less than 0.1 μm or 100 nm in diameter). [1] Regulations do not exist for this size class of ambient air pollution particles, which are far smaller than the regulated PM 10 and PM 2.5 particle classes and are believed to have several more aggressive health implications than those classes of larger particulates. [2]
Particle size analyzers are used also in biology to measure protein aggregation. Particle size distribution of antiviral vaccines subjected to cold-chain disruptions, analyzed by Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) DLS is a particularly appreciated technique for the characterization of nanoparticles designed for drug delivery, such as vaccines.
