Abstract

In this section, we present several selected experimental procedures (including characterization of samples in some cases), directly borrowed from original articles. These experiments are of distinct grades of difficulty (for professors/researchers or students), requiring or not a special equipment. Not all of them can be easily reproduced; students and their advisors need to make a selection of appropriate practices. We hope this part of the book will be very useful as educational material for M.Sc. and Ph.D. students, working in the areas of nanochemistry and nanotechnology, biochemistry and drug delivery, fabrication of carbon thin films from dispersion, application of composites of various carbon allotropes with polymers, and so on.
