Materials characterization is a branch of materials science that involves analyzing and understanding the properties and structure of materials at a microscopic and macroscopic level. This field utilizes various techniques such as microscopy, spectroscopy, and diffraction to study the composition, morphology, mechanical properties, thermal properties, and electrical properties of materials. By characterizing materials, researchers can better understand how they behave under different conditions and develop new materials with specific properties for various applications. Materials characterization plays a crucial role in fields such as engineering, physics, chemistry, and biology.
