BET analyze is used for measuring the specific area and density of nanotubes. Accurate measurement of specific area and porosity has attracted enormous interest in many applications like catalysts, nano absorbents, compounds and additives, pharmaceutical and food industries, nano particles such as metal nanoparticles, nano tubes and nano fibers. In this method, a layer of surface-absorbing material molecules is formed. By knowing the average thickness of a molecule, the surface occupied by a molecule can be calculated and based on the absorbed material, the total area of the sample is measured.

This system is based on BET theory and by the measured values of absorbance and disintegration, the specific surface area, diameter, volume and distribution of the pore size of the material can be calculated.

Analyze name: DLS

Dynamic light scattering (DLS) is an appropriate technique to determine the particle size distribution. In this technique, the particle size distribution is measured by Brownian motion. Measuring the Brownian motion of particles is determined by calculating the amount of vibration amount in the intensity of the scattered light beams by particles.

This device can calculate the changes in scattered light beams via the changes of the pattern of dark and bright points, which determining the scattering of light beams will end at measuring the Brownian motion of particles.  

Analyze name: DTA

Differential thermal analysis (DTA) is based on measuring difference between the unknown sample and the control sample temperatures while both samples are heated with the same heating cycle. By using the thermocouples of the unknown and control samples, the temperature difference ΔT and the control sample temperature T can be determined. ΔT and T after reinforcing is sent to recording part and the changes of ΔT in T is drawn. An electronic circuit controls the temperature by another thermocouple which is placed in furnace body.

Analyze name: FT-IR

IR spectroscopy is based on absorption of radiation and the evaluation of vibrational mutations of molecules and multi atom ions. This method is a developed method to determine structure and measuring chemical species. This method is usually used for identifying the spectrum of organic materials because these compounds are complicated and have many maximum and minimum peaks that can be used for comparative goals. Some informations that can be achieved from FT-IR analyze include following items:

Quantitative and qualitative identification of organic compounds containing nanoparticles, determining the type of functional group and the bonds in their molecules. For determining low amounts of hydrogen phosphate ion in hydroxyapatite which is used for artificial organs of the body. Analyzing some medicines containing nano particles.

Analyze name: ICP

Inductively coupled plasma (ICP) is one of the methods of emission spectroscopy which the atomization is done by plasma produced by an inert gas, which is mainly argon. Plasma is called a series of electrons and inert gas ions which have high energy and temperatures. However, due to the high concentrations of these two components (cation and anion), the total plasma charge is almost zero.

ICP method is one of the best methods of spectroscopy to determine the type and concentration of different elements. This method has lower resolution and spectral and chemical interruptions compared to other emission methods.

Analyze name: XRD

XRD analyzer is based on diffraction of X-ray and Bragg law which is usually used for studying materials with crystal structure. It is possible to study materials by XRD according to the uniqueness of the spectrum of each composition and the unknown sample’s formula. By using Braggs law the distance of crystal planes and thus the size and type of the unit cell can be measured. The percentage of phases can be determined via this method.
