Abstract

Techniques for preparing samples of highly dispersed materials of different chemical nature for studying their surface using atomic force microscopy were considered. Advantages and disadvantages of the techniques were determined. By the examples of nanodispersed carbon, iron oxide (III), and A-300 aerosil, the possibility of forming a nanoparticle sample whose surface morphology does not significantly change in comparison with initial particles is shown.
