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 media Focuses on technique limitations, appropriate data collection, data interpretation, and analysis Aids in understanding and comparing nanomaterial characterization data reported in the literature using different analytical tools Includes case studies of characterization relevant complex media to enhance understanding

Comprehensive, up-to-date, and user-centered one-stop reference on the principles and applications of Field-Flow Fractionation (FFF), a highly versatile separation technology Field-Flow Fractionation: Principles and Applications offers a comprehensive and topical one-stop reference on Field-Flow Fractionation (FFF), an important separation technique which has been proven successful in the analysis of natural and engineered nanoparticles, pharmaceuticals, proteins, polymers, soils, and food. After introductory chapters on theory, principles, and instrumentation, a tutorial-style user guide addresses typical users’ questions and problems. In the application part, the separation of all relevant particle classes is discussed by international experts. Sample topics covered in Field-Flow Fractionation: Principles and Applications include: Historical perspectives of the technique, normal versus steric versus hyperlayer modes, retention resolution, and fractionation powerFFF techniques, including flow (asymmetric, frit inlet, and outlet), sedimentation, thermal, electric, and other novel techniques such as 2DHow to determine if FFF is the correct choice and if it is being implemented correctly, along with general optimization strategies including carrier fluid, calibration, and reproducibilitySample overloading and recovery, detector selection, troubleshooting, and performance of other fractionation techniquesBoth beginners and experienced chemists and researchers can confidently rely on Field-Flow Fractionation: Principles and Applications to confirm their own understanding and to improve their FFF methods and interpretation of their results.
