HomeA state of play study of the market for so called “Next Generation” nanomaterials
Metapodaci o publikaciji
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. It also details the assessment of the suitability of the REACH and CLP terms “substance”, “mixture” and “article” and of the characterisation and identification parameters included in the amended REACH Annexes with regard to next generation nanomaterials. The review of the relevant literature has been complemented with an experts’ consultation and with data scraping from nanotechnology inventories and companies’ websites. Rather than being used for regulatory purposes, the concept of different “generations” of nanomaterials was introduced to highlight the possibilities of nanotechnology and attract private and public investments. In this context, the word “nanomaterials” referred to nanotechnology products, including objects, such as nanostructures and nanostructured materials, that go beyond the European Commission’s recommended definition of nanomaterials. Some refinements to the definitions proposed in the literature have been suggested referring to the concepts of energy, work and thermodynamic equilibrium. Only few examples of second generation “active” nanomaterials have been found as already on the market, mainly in medicines and electronics applications. Given the increasing complexity and integration between organic and inorganic components, further guidance would benefit prospective REACH registrants.
