Webinars

The inherent advantages of nanomaterials require specialized methodologies to properly study their thermodynamic properties. To meet this need, researchers are using techniques such as high-temperature molten oxide solution calorimetry, water adsorption calorimetry and differential scanning thermogravimetry-calorimetry.

Direct correlation between scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a powerful technique for acquiring complementary data on micro- and nanostructures.

Scattering techniques such as small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) are powerful and versatile tools for probing the structural characteristics of nanomaterials. This webinar will present the SAXS methodology, its instrumentation and its importance in the field of nanotechnology.

Taylor Dispersion Analysis (TDA) is a promising new technique for determining the diffusion coefficients and hydrodynamic radii of nanoscale objects. This webinar will present the principle of the method, its advantages and limitations.

Characterizing the flammability and explosivity of nanomaterials is an essential step in risk management. This webinar will address the importance of studying the explosion and ignition risks of nanomaterials, and the validity of existing experimental tools in this context.

This webinar illustrates the work carried out by the NPL as part of European metrology partnership programs, international inter-laboratory comparisons and the development of ISO documentary standards to provide a robust metrology framework for measuring nanoparticle number concentration.

This webinar presents the possibilities for analyzing the surface chemistry of nanoparticles using AFM, EDX, XPS and ToF-SIMS methods.

The software platform, NanometrologIA, has been developed by LNE and offers segmentation/classification tools for the automated analysis of particulate samples. It will be presented during this webinar, and its capabilities and future development prospects will be demonstrated.
