(Nanowerk News) The Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM) in Germany has compiled a website which lists all nanoscale reference materials that are commercially available worldwide.
Reference materials are the key to guaranteeing realiability and correctness for results of chemical analyses and technical measurements. The BAM list currently includes some 65 nanomaterials in 11 categories:
Certified Reference Material (CRM)
Quality Control Materials (QCM)
Reference Material (not specified as CRM or QCM)
Categories
Flatness
Film thickness
Single steps , periodic steps, step gratings
Lateral X-Y-axis, 1-dim
Lateral X-Y-axis, +2-dim, critical dimensions
3-dimensional
Nanoobjects/nanoparticles/nanomaterial
Nanocrystallite materials
Porosity
Depth profiling resolution
Others
For every reference material there is a downloadable pdf data sheet that includes a link to the manufacturer.
