Protocols for the characterization of the behavior of hybrid supramolecular nanostructures

Protocols should push for high quality data, ensure that experimental results can be confidently shared among research partners and allow meaningful comparison with data reported in published material. The characterization of the behavior of hybrid supramolecular nanostructures in solution will rely on an array of techniques including dynamic light scattering, small-angle X-ray scattering, photophysics, confocal (optical) microscopy. The characterization of the behavior of hybrid supramolecular nanostructures on surfaces will rely on electron microscopies (ESEM, SEM, TEM), liquid drop contact angle, profilometry.
