Cryogenic transmission electron microscop

X-ray diffraction studies can give inference about the morphology of nanocomposite formation however, the evidence from the transmission electron micrograph can only confirm the state of dispersion of silicate platelets and the formation of nanocomposites. For analyzing in a transmission electron microscope, ultra-thin sections of 5 to 60 nm thickness should be cut from the nanocomposite samples imder ambient or cryogenic conditions using microtome.
