EC-funded NanoSustain publishes four nanotechnology case studies |
| (Nanowerk News) NanoSustain, a €2.5 million NMP small collaborative project (2010-2013) funded by the European Union under FP7, has published a fact sheet and four case studies addressing these issues. |
|
|
| To answer these questions, the EC-funded NanoSustain project has been developing new sustainable solutions through an investigation of the life-cycle of nanotechnology-based products, in particular the physical and chemical characteristics of materials, hazard and exposure aspects, and end-of-life disposal or recycling to determine the fate and impact of nanomaterials. |
| A NanoSustain Factsheet is now available together with four Case Studies which provide the following information: |
| A summary of the different materials and products tested within NanoSustain: |
|
|
| Information about the individual experimental approaches |
| Descriptions of the different techniques developed |
| How these techniques have been successfully applied in physical-chemical characterisation; life-cycle analysis; final disposal; recycling |
