This book presents commonly applied characterization techniques in
material science, their brief history and origins, mechanism of
operation, advantages and disadvantages, their biosensing applications,
and troubleshooting for each technique, while addressing the challenges
researchers face when working with these techniques. The book dedicates
its focus to identifying physicochemical and electrochemical nature of
materials including analyses of morphology, mass spectrometry, and
topography, as well as the characterization of elemental, structural,
thermal, wettability, electrochemical, and chromatography properties.
Additionally, the main features and benefits of using coupled
characterization techniques are discussed in this book.
