Abstract

Nanotechnology has become one of the most emerging research areas to the researchers of the present world due to the wide application of nanomaterials including structures and buildings. With the rapid advancement of nanotechnology, manipulation and characterization of materials in nano scale have become an obvious part of construction related technology. This chapter will focus on some of the nano characterization techniques that are most frequently used in current research of nano materials. In particular scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, scanning tunneling microscopy, tomography, scanning transmission X-ray microscopy and laser scanning confocal microscopy are addressed. The basic principle of these characterization techniques and their limitations were briefly discussed in this chapter. In addition, a number of case studies related to microscopic characterization of nano materials utilizing the aforementioned techniques from the published literature were discussed.
