ISO 14187 discusses surface chemical analysis. ISO 14187 provides an introduction to the types of data that can be obtained about nanostructured materials using surface-analysis tools.
Although some general issues relevant to the characterization of nanostructured materials are identified, ISO 14187 focuses on issues specifically relevant to surface chemical analysis of nanostructured materials.
ISO 14187 summarizes general and technique-specific issues that must be considered before or during analysis like identification of needed information, stability and probe effects, environmental effects, specimen-handling issues, and data interpretation.
ISO 14187 on the characterization of nanostructured material for surface chemical analysis is applicable in:
Nanostructured material is defined as material in which the structural elements, clusters, crystallites or molecules have a dimension in the 1 to 100nm range.
ISO 14187 gives you the information on important issues which describes the information that is obtained about nanostructured materials, sometimes using analytical approaches beyond those applications.
As a buyer of ISO 14187, you can obtain data for examining some of the issues and challenges faced during surface chemical analysis.
