This study presents the analysis of the definitions of next generations of nanomaterials proposed in the literature and suggests some refinements to allow for the creation of an inventory of second and higher generation nanomaterials on the market or expected on the market in the next five years...
Nanotechnology is currently an area of research focus in most developed nations. The effort in research and development in Europe is the largest, in terms of publications, in the world. The research conducted in Europe covers all of the main nanotechnology research areas and varies from country ...
Three appendices concerning information requirements (appendices to IR&CSA Guidance Chapters R7a, R7b and R7c) have been developed in order to provide advice to registrants for use when preparing REACH registration dossiers that cover “nanoforms”....
Transmission electron microscopes enable researchers to analyse materials at the atomic level. They rank prominently among the technologies available for the characterisation of nanodevices, nanomaterials and advanced materials in general. And as such, they are likely to play a key role in the d...
In 2011 the JRC launched a repository for Representative Nanomaterials to support both EU and international research projects, and especially the OECD Working Party on Manufactured Nanomaterials that leads an exploratory programme "Testing a Representative set of Manufactured Nanomaterials", aim...
It was the objective of the study to: - Identify the major technological and scientific challenges and drivers to realise integrated miniaturised electronic enabled systems with whatever high technology (electronics, micro-systems, embedded software, embedded systems) that serve the purpose, wit...
This report stems from a dedicated workshop delivering a fresh perspective about nanotechnology communication to the extent that it ranked several possible priority interventions. It reviewed best practices developed by European funded projects. Different recommendations are summed up in this pu...
