The Characterization of Nanomaterias Using Scanning Electron Microscopy and Environmental Applications

Abstract

Nano materials are classes of substances that have structural components smaller than 100nm and this includes nanoparticles with at least 2-D between 1 and 100nm in the Nano scale. Nano materials have small size which having at least 1-D 100nm or less. It can be Nano scale in 1-D, 2-D, or 3-D and exist in single, fused, aggregated forms with spherical, tubular and irregular shape. The samples of Nano materials were analyzed with scanning electron microscopy to provide images of Nano particles and their agglomerates in sufficient resolution that gives images of Nano materials with clearly identifiable particles.  Nano materials have significant commercial impacts that can be increased in the future. Nano materials have good potential for developing the ways in which materials are generated that, the range and nature of functionalities can be accessed. Applications of Nano materials in the environment are different from one another depending on the type of devices used such as nanotechnologies in coatings for exterior surfaces, solar cells for renewable energy and de-colorization of dyes by the effect of Nano composites, medicine, textile, household, construction, chemical, automotive, electronics and engineering industries.
