Nanoaerosol release characteristics of wallpaper coated with TiO2 nanoparticles in an air-jet simulated test chamber

Bae G.N., Park S.H., Lee S.B., Kim J.B., Korea Institute of Science and Technology, KR

Consumer nanoproducts are interested in public health aspects. In Korea, wallpaper is a popular construction material of housing. Wallpaper is well known to emit various volatile organic compounds and carbonyl compounds. Some wallpaper is coated [...]

Multi-method analysis of multiwall carbon nanotube polymer nanocomposite after photodegradation

Petersen E.J., Lam T., Gorham J., Scott K., Long C., Sharma R., Sung L.P., Liddle J.A., Nguyen T., National Institute of Standards and Technology, US

Nanomaterials can be used as nanofillers to enhance the properties of polymeric materials. However, the effect of weathering on nanocomposites and the potential for nanomaterial release is not yet well known. This stems partly from [...]

Sustainable Nanotechnology: Environmental Apps & EHS Implications

Learning from an Informatics Approach Applied to Materials Design

Poleski J., Krein M., Barto R., Lockheed Martin, US

Nanomaterials will significantly impact commercial and military applications when context and understanding of their vast design and property space is achieved. Identifying the design parameters of important materials is one of the first steps in [...]

High Throughput Screening of Nanomaterials: The Arkansas Research Consortium in Nanotoxicity, a partnership between Arkansas and the FDA

Howard P.C., Biris A.S., Salamo G.J., Zharov V.P., Buchanan R.A., Arkansas Research Alliance, US

The state of Arkansas and the FDA Center of Toxicological Research have begun a collaborative effort to develop techniques for high-throughput, rapid screening of existing and yet-to-be developed nanomaterials. To accomplish this the Arkansas Research [...]

Advancement of the GoodNanoGuide: A compendium of best practices for the global nanotechnology community

Sreniawski M.J., Harper B.J., Harper S.L., Harper B.J., Harper S.L., Oregon State University, US

The GoodNanoGuide project is an internet-based wiki that was conceived to meet the needs of global nanotechnology stakeholders (Kulinowski and Jaffe, 2009). The GoodNanoGuide was designed to facilitate translation of disparate nanoEHS research into practical [...]

Compact MEMS/NEMS Characterization Platform Using a DVD Optical Pick-up Unit with Optical Imaging Function

Chen C-H, Larsen T., Schmid S., Liao H-S, Hwang I-S, Boisen A., Hwu E-T, Academia Sinica, TW

We present a compact, simple and efficient platform for MEMS/NEMS characterization. In this platform, a DVD optical pickup unit (OPU) is combined with a CCD camera. A nano-scale resolution long range X-Y-Z linear stage below [...]

Patterned Atomic Layer Deposition on Scanning Tunneling Microscope constructed templates

Azcatl A., Ballard J., Chabal Y., Cho K.-J., Dick D., Owen J., Longo R., McDonnell S., Mordi G., Randall J., Wallace R., Zyvex Labs, US

This research shows a process combining STM lithography with the well controlled technique of ALD, indicating a new process for using single-pass STM patterning 3-D structures with sub-nanometer dimensional control. The templating was done using [...]
