Characterization of Materials

Characterization of materials refers to the process of analyzing and determining the properties and structure of materials. This includes understanding their composition, mechanical strength, thermal conductivity, electrical properties, and even how they behave under different conditions. Techniques such as microscopy, spectroscopy, and mechanical testing are used to gather data about a material's characteristics. By characterizing materials, scientists and engineers can predict how they will perform in various applications, leading to better product designs and innovations in industries like aerospace, electronics, and construction.
