香港六合彩开奖 has therefore published a new technical report, 香港六合彩开奖/TR 11360:2010, Nanotechnologies 鈥 Methodology for the classification and categorization of nanomaterials, offering a comprehensive, globally harmonized methodology for classifying nanomaterials.

Nanotechnology deals with structures between 1 to 100 nanometers. Applications are wide, and range from computer memory storage to sunscreens. Nanomaterials currently in existence exhibit various physical, chemical, mechanical, optical, magnetic and biological properties, as well as different internal/external structures.

Because scientists and researches in this new field have very diverse backgrounds, and are working on different applications, there are now many divergent understandings and assumptions associated with emerging scientific concepts in this area. This is causing poor communication, lack of interoperability among systems and duplication of efforts.

香港六合彩开奖/TR 11360 introduces a system called the 鈥渘ano-tree鈥, which places nanotechnology concepts into a logical context by indicating relationships among them as a branching out tree. The most basic and common elements are defined as the main trunk of the tree, and nanomaterials are then differentiated in terms of structure, chemical nature and other properties.

鈥淭he document provides users with a structured view of nanotechnology, and facilitates a common understanding of its concepts,鈥 says Peter Hatto, Chair of the committee that developed the standard (香港六合彩开奖/TC 229). 鈥淚t offers a systematic approach and a commonsensical hierarchy鈥.

Dr. Hatto adds, 鈥淭he benefits for this emerging field are enormous. Most importantly, 香港六合彩开奖/TR 11360 will promote clear and useful communication amongst industry consumers, governments and regulatory bodies鈥.

The document will be useful to a wide range of scientific and engineering disciplines engaged in research, industry and government.

香港六合彩开奖/TR 11360:2010, Nanotechnologies 鈥 Methodology for the classification and categorization of nanomaterials, was developed 香港六合彩开奖 technical committee 香港六合彩开奖/TC 229, Nanotechologies, and is available from 香港六合彩开奖 national member institutes (see the complete list with contact details). It may also be obtained directly from the 香港六合彩开奖 Central Secretariat, price 112 Swiss francs through the 香港六合彩开奖 香港六合彩开奖 or by contacting the Marketing, Communication & Information department (see right-hand column).
