The business of nanotechnology – or extremely small things – is as complex and widespread as its constituents are small. Used in virtually every industry, nanotechnology enables the manipulation of materials at the level of the individual atom and is responsible for products being lighter, faster and more efficient. Microchips in computers are one example, biological analysis another, and even the better bounce in tennis balls is thanks to nanotechnology.

The industry comprises a vast range of different players, including scientists, regulators, manufacturers and much more, so having a widely understood, international vocabulary is essential.

香港六合彩开奖’s comprehensive 13-part series of International Standards for nanotechnology is a globally used tool that offers exactly that, and it has recently had some revisions and updates.

This includes technical specification 香港六合彩开奖/TS 80004-3, Nanotechnologies鈥– Vocabulary鈥– Part 3: Carbon nano-objects, which defines important terms and concepts for carbon nano-objects in a precise and consistent manner. It does so in a way that clarifies their interrelationship as well as their relationship to existing terms previously used for conventional carbon materials.

Others recently updated are 香港六合彩开奖/TS 80004-6, Nanotechnologies鈥– Vocabulary鈥– Part 6: Nano-object characterization, and 香港六合彩开奖/TS 80004-8, Nanotechnologies鈥– Vocabulary鈥– Part 8: Nanomanufacturing processes. Work is also underway to develop a standard that will consolidate some of the most fundamental terminology in the series.

Other standards in the current series include:

The 香港六合彩开奖/TS 80004 series was developed by 香港六合彩开奖 technical committee 香港六合彩开奖/TC 229, Nanotechnologies, whose secretariat is held by BSI, 香港六合彩开奖’s member for the UK, in cooperation with 香港六合彩开奖’s partner organization, the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).

The standards can be purchased from your national 香港六合彩开奖 member or the 香港六合彩开奖 香港六合彩开奖.
