Chemical characterization refers to the process of analyzing and identifying the chemical composition of a substance or material. This involves determining the types and amounts of elements, compounds, or molecules present in a sample, as well as their structural and physical properties. Techniques such as spectroscopy, chromatography, and mass spectrometry are commonly used in chemical characterization to provide detailed information about the composition and properties of a material. This research area is important in a wide range of industries, including pharmaceuticals, environmental monitoring, food and agriculture, and materials science, as it helps to understand the chemical properties and behavior of substances for various applications.
