Therefore, a comprehensive characterization of these properties was considered as relevant including: chemical composition, crystallinity, particle size, particle shape, surface chemistry, and specific surface area (SSA). We want to discuss, how Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Electron Probe Microanalysis (EPMA) in the version with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), Time-of-Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) can contribute to gain comprehensive insights into the nature of the nanoparticles. SEM results provide the particle size and shape (distribution). A quick identification of the main chemical elements present in the sample can be obtained with EDS, whereas XPS allows a more detailed chemical identification of the small nanoparticles below 20 nm or of the near-surface region of larger particles. ToF-SIMS is even much more surface-sensitive and leads to a deeper understanding of the surface chemistry of the nanoparticles. As exemplary samples, two Al-coated TiO2 samples in nanopowder form were chosen from the JRC repository, capped either with a hydrophilic or a hydrophobic organic shell. A focus of our case study was to show, how reliable, reproducible and traceable data can be obtained. Therefore, each step in the workflow of sample investigation must be described in detail. For the most of these steps, well-established standards are available. Usually, the conditions of the particular measurements with each analysis method are saved as meta-data in the common file formats. But other factors like sample preparation and data reduction approaches may influence the result of the investigations in a significant manner and must be described often in a separate file (as a protocol) together with the data file. For sensitive materials like nanoobjects, the preparation of the sample influences the results crucially, e.g. measured as suspension or as powders. Furthermore, data reduction like selection of relevant peaks in spectra or particles in images, background subtraction, peak deconvolution, models for the quantification of the spectra must be considered in the interpretation of the results ideally with associated individual measurement uncertainties. Only a detailed description of all these factors allows to obtain a comprehensive characterization with reliable, reproduceable and traceable data. Examples of standardized procedures of measurement or on data reduction will be highlighted.

An atomic or molecular understanding of basic processes in chemistry, soft matter physics, materials and life science is enabled only through new analytical methods and instrumentation. Similar observations can be found for pressing sociopolitical conflicts of the future: A rational discussion of global climate change or new energy sources is only possible with reliable analytical results. Progress in Analytical Sciences is only possible if the underlying interdisciplinary character is acknowledged and valued. The talk will illustrate the scope of modern Analytical Science through examples from process analysis relevant to modern process intensification and industry 4.0 to bioanalysis and the use of synchrotron radiation to elucidate fundamental reactions materials.

It deals with the surface analytical investigation of nanoparticles by PCS-assisted ToF-SIMS. This technique is applicable to core-shell nanoparticles, in order to distinguish a complete encapsulation from an incomplete encapsulation of the core by the shell material. Furthermore, the depletion process of organic nanoparticle coatings caused by UV-weathering is investigated. Finally, the significance of grouping studies for nanomaterials research and risk assessment is demonstrated.
