| Measurement of particle size and Z-potential | Fundamentals of Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) technique. Fundamentals of Zeta Potential measurement. |
| PREPARATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF VARIOUS NANOMATERIALS | Selection of the synthesis method, based on the characteristics of the material to be prepared. Selection of the conditions and materials necessary for the synthesis (reagents, previous calculations, material, assemblies...). Evaluation of the risks associated with the experiment and their prevention. Experimental procedure of synthesis. Selection and/or handling of basic instrumental techniques for its characterization. Interpretation of the results of the characterization. Elaboration of the laboratory notebook. Elaboration and presentation of the final report. |
