INSTRUMENTATION TECHNIQUES FOR NANOCOMPOSITE CHARACTERIZATION

Abstract: Improved citrate auto combustion preparation technique is used to synthesis ferromagnetic and ferroelectric phases of the investigated nanocomposite. Atomic force microscope (AFM) is one of the important tools for imaging, measuring, and manipulating matter at the nanoscale. The characterization was performed by elemental analysis, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), physiosorption of N2, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Z potential measurements. The characterization and adsorption experiments showed that the extent of pesticide adsorption was markedly subjected to the structure and features of the surface of each oregano-clay and also to the nature of the considered pesticide.
