Abstract

A couple of examples are presented to show the importance of introducing separation techniques as field-flow fractionation (FFF) in the characterization of nanoparticles. Detection of different size populations in a complex sample without sample fractionation is challenging. FFF physically separates the sample according to size before characterization. This allows obtaining information on structure and size across the entire sample distribution from single nanoparticles to large micron-sized aggregates with the help of different on-line spectroscopic and scattering techniques. It is also possible to collect the resulting fractions for additional off-line analysis or to provide monodisperse nanoparticle samples.
