摘要
The morphological and topographical properties of nanospheres are of major importance for characterizing these systems. The quality, and consequently the applications, of such dispersions are determined by the mean particle size, their distribution by size and the topography of the nanospheres. This work is devoted to the application of contemporary analytical techniques: photon scanning tunnelling microscopy (PSTM), scanning force microscopy (SFM) and no-contact scanning force microscopy (NC-SFM) to image nanospheres prepared from chemically modified beta-cyclodextrins (PCD-C-6) without any sample preparation which could introduce artefacts. We have shown that the spherical geometry and high degree of monodispersity of nanospheres from beta CD-C-6 were confirmed by PSTM, but that NC-SFM was an excellent technique for the imaging of nanospheres prepared from beta CD-C-6.
