Quantification of microstructural features in carbon nanotube/nanodiamond hybrids

Abstract

The properties of nanostructured advanced materials such as carbon nanotubes and nanocrystalline diamond (CNT/NCD) hybrids are known to be closely linked to their morphology, therefore requiring reliable measuring techniques based on quantitative microscopy supported by digital image processing. The development of such techniques is strongly related to hardware evolution and software availability for digital image processing and analysis. © Microscopy Society of America 2012.
