International Association of Nanotechnnology

NanoScale Material Stewardship Seminar

btran@ianano.org — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 20:22:25 +0100

Short description

Join the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) and the California Environmental Protection Agency (CALEPA) to discuss new initiatives and implement mutually beneficial standards for nanoparticles.

Long description

Join the International Association of Nanotechnology, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) and the California Department of Toxic Substances Control (CDTSC) on Wednesday, August 13, to provide input on new initiatives and regulations underway concerning nanotechnology.

At the beginning of this year, the USEPA launched its Nanoscale Materials Stewardship Program to help provide a firmer scientific foundation for regulatory decisions by encouraging voluntary submission and development of information, including risk management practices for nanoscale materials. The stewardship program encourages participants – including manufacturers – to develop and report data on nanomaterials.

New State laws also provide a mechanism for state agencies to collaborate with chemical manufacturers to develop information such as analytical test methods, fate and transport in the environment, bioconcentration and other relevant information for chemicals manufactured or imported in the State. Under this new law, for instance, manufacturers may be required to provide information about chemical upon the request of that State, within a year of the request.

The State of California is also becoming involved with nanomaterials, including a new regulatory approach the Department of Toxic Substances Control is undertaking to compile relevant information on nanomaterials, as well as other chemicals. Chapter 699, Sections 57018-57020 became part of the Health and Safety Code in California in 2006. This new law provides a mechanism for state agencies to collaborate with chemical manufacturers to develop information such as analytical test methods, fate and transport in the environment, bioconcentration and other relevant information for chemicals manufactured or imported in the State. Included in the law is the requirement that manufacturers shall provide specified information about chemicals of concern within a year of the Department's request."

Jim Alwood, from USEPA’s Chemical Control Division in Washington, D.C., will discuss his agency’s nanotechnology program, including an overview of the Toxic Substances Control Act and the Nanoscale Materials Stewardship Program. Dr. Jeff Wong, Chief Scientist for the DTSC, will highlight the main provisions of the new state law and how the Department and the nano industry can work together in implementing it.

Take advantage of this unique opportunity to network and dialogue with industry partners, government representatives and manufacturers as these new rules and regulations are put into place!

Who Should Attend:

1. Representatives from companies that manufacture, import, process, or use nanoscale materials for commercial purposes, including those who:

* Manufacture or import engineered nanoscale materials;
* Physically or chemically modify or process an engineered nanoscale material;
* Physically or chemically modify or process a non-nanoscale material to create an engineered nanoscale material; or
* Use engineered nanoscale materials in the manufacture of a product.

2. Researchers who develop or study engineered nanoscale materials.

3. Business professionals interested in public policy and potential standards related to nanotechnology.

Speakers:

Jim Alwood
Program Manager, Chemical Control Division
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency

Jeff Wong
Chief Scientist, Department of Toxic Substances Control
California Environmental Protection Agency

We deals with variety of water soluble biocompatible metallic nanomaterials such as nanoparticles, nanorods, nanotriangles, nanohexagons, nanocrystals, etc.
The naomaterials and nanoconstructs are available for gold, silver, palladium, platinum and iron in aqueous base.
These nanomaterials have wide spectrum utility for nanoscience and nanotechnology researchers in academia and industry.
The major applications can be exploited in disease diagnosis, therapeutic effectiveness, Novel drug delivery formulations and also in areas other than biomedical field.
Biocompatibly coated gold and silver nanoparticles allow systematic variations in metal content, thus providing unprecedented means of developing mono or multi nanolayers with assorted metal content for variety of materials and biomedical research applications.
Aggregation of gold and silver nanoparticles in ionic media is a common phenomenon, thereby impeding researchers from carrying out important experiments in ionic fluids.
The technology allows retention of nanoparticulate properties of gold and silver even in the presence of high concentrations of ions. The new dispersible solution phase nanoconstructs allow customers to directly utilize gold and silver nanoparticles in solution phase for such research and product development applications that involve spraying, spin coating, emulsification, mixing, and implanting processes.
Gold nanoconstructs allows researchers to use “one-step” direct labeling of biocompatible gold nanoparticles with target specific proteins/peptides and various markers.
Silver nanomaterials has potential anitmicrobial, anti-fungal, anti-viral, germicidal, etc. applications in health, hygeine, packaging and environmental restoration domains.
Palladium and platinum nanoparticles are unique resources for catalytic testing and manufacture of specialty fine chemicals and pharmaceutical intermediates.

Shaping single walled nanotubes

We show that electron irradiation in a dedicated scanning transmission microscope can be used as a nano-electron-lithography technique

Article body

We show that electron irradiation in a dedicated scanning transmission microscope can be used as a nano-electron-lithography technique allowing the controlled reshaping of single walled carbon and boron nitride nanotubes.

The required irradiation conditions have been optimised on the basis of total knock-on cross sections calculated within density functional based methods. It is then possible to induce morphological modifications, such as a change of the tube chirality, by removing severals tens of atoms with a nanometrical spatial resolution. These irradiation techniques could open new opportunities for nano-engeneering a large variety of nanostructured materials.

company that specialises in large-scale production of Carbon Nanotubes and related materials. Research and Development Activities are focused on methods and innovative processes of production as well as the development of the product for use in certain applications like electron emission, hydrogen absorption etc.

Carbon Nanotubes is the newly discovered "dream" material on which the emerging 21st century Nanotechnology is founded. The ever-growing need for super strong, super efficient materials, makes Carbon Nanotubes the most sought after material today. The impact of Carbon Nanotubes on efforts to save energy, combat global warming and protect the environment will be significant.
Rosseter holdings Limited was established in 1998 uniting the entrepreneurial abilities of its founder, Mrs M. Xenophontos-Ioannou and the extensive scientific research experience of Dr. Vladislav Ryzhkov.

Since Rosseter's incorporation the Research and Development of its breakthrough method of bulk production of Carbon Nanotubes at a non-prohibitive price has been completed. The Company is now commercialising and selling from its production centre.

Rosseter Holdings Limited has filed the relevant patent applications and protections with leading UK patent legal advisors.

The Company's Head Offices are situated in Limassol, the business and economic centre of Cyprus - a geographically strategic position at the cross-roads of three continents.
