# Characterization of surface functionalization on nanomaterials

## You wish to carry out a characterization of surface functionalization on nanomaterials

### What is surface functionalization on nanomaterials?

First of all, surface functionalization refers to the optimization or**addition of properties to the surface** of a material in order to improve its performance or to give it new functionalities (adhesion, mechanical grip, etc.). Surface functionalization is used on several types of materials: polymers, metals, glasses, ceramics…

Surface functionalization can be achieved through different means including **nanostructuring** which uses **nanomaterials**.

### Why perform a surface functionalization characterization on nanomaterials

Characterizing the functionalization of a surface through the study of its nanostructure allows to better **understand and predict the new functionalities** that are conferred to it by the presence of nanomaterials. Thus, the characterization of surface functionalization on **nanomaterials** can be done in the context of **quality control** as part of a research and development process. 

Therefore, the support of a competent laboratory in nanomaterials and surface characterization is necessary in all these issues.
