Call for papers: Characterisation, Measurement and Analysis of
Nanoparticles

A special issue of the International Journal of Nanoparticles (IJNP)

Important Dates:
Deadline for submission of manuscripts : 28 March 2007
Communication of peer reviews to authors : 30 April 2007
Deadline for revised manuscripts : 30 June 2007

Nanoparticles have had a large impact on drug delivery systems,
structural materials, data storage systems, biochemical and biomedical
diagnostics, adhesives, pigments, optical communication and catalytic
developments in recent years. With the advent of the many new
techniques to fabricate nanostructures and the associated potential
applications, a review of current and potential future techniques by
which nanoparticles are characterised is required.

For the purpose of this issue, nanoparticles are defined as particles
which have at least one dimension less that 100 nm. On this scale,
characterisation is essential and particularly challenging. This
special inaugural issue is aimed at the recent developments in the
field of nanostructure characterisation techniques.

Nanoparticle characterisation techniques that are relevant to this
issue include but are not limited to electron microscopy, atomic force
microscopy (AFM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), single photon
emission tomography (SPECT), magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and
spectroscopy, surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), X-ray
diffractometry, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR).

The subject coverage of this special issue includes, but is not limited
to, topics that address:
* Research that spans several fields is particularly welcome
* Particle size measurement
* Nanoparticle surface area
* Density of nanoparticles
* Nanoparticle tracking analysis
* Analysis with optical tweezers
* Zeta potential measurement
* High resolution electron microscopy (HREM) image processing
* Particle mass measurement
