Summary
The paper presents the basic information on nanotechnology and the recent results of studies of physicochemical properties of chosen nanomaterial surfaces (montmorillonites, carbon nanotubes, smart surfaces) by means of complex measuring methods. Physicochemical properties of nanomaterial surfaces by means of the special thermogravimetry Q-TG, sorptometry, porosimetry, atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning electron micrograph (SEM) methods were investigated. A numerical and analytical procedure for the evaluation of total heterogeneous properties (desorption energy distribution and pore-size distribution functions) on the basis of liquid thermodesorption from the sample surfaces under the quasi-equilibrium conditions and sorptometry techniques are presented. The evaluation of the fractal dimensions of nanotubes using the sorptometry, porosimetry, thermogravimetry Q-TG and AFM data are presented. The comparison of fractal coefficients calculated based on them with the results from Q-TG, sorptometry, porosimetry and AFM gave good agreement.
