Abstract

Nanofibers are commonly found in industry and nanotubes are quickly growing in importance and applications. As the production and use of these materials expands, the need to quickly and accurately size their lengths and diameters in the aerosol phase is becoming increasingly important. This need can arise from a desire to obtain feedback for process control and monitoring, or to understand and monitor the effect of these materials on human health. For example, nanofibers such as asbestos can present severe health risks when airborne and the toxicity of such fibers may be directly related to nanofiber dimensions [1]. This concern has been the motivation for developing online methods of sizing nanofibers in aerosols [2].
