By Porter Wright on This fifth and final article in a series on standards for the nanotechnology community contributed by ANSI explains the development of specifications that will look at raw nanomaterials in terms of their use in a variety of applications. By 2007, the development of international guidelines for nanotechnology was well underway within the International Organization for … Continue Reading
By Porter Wright on This fourth article in a series contibuted by ANSI on standards for the nanotechnology community addresses the development of specifications for measurement, characterization, and test methods that will provide a common reference point for material manufacturers and their customers. Measurement and characterization standards fly under the radar, affecting our lives in innumerable ways – from … Continue Reading
By Porter Wright on This Article Was Authored and Contributed by the American National Standards Intititute This second article in a series on nanotechnology standardization introduces the international working group that, under US leadership, is creating the standards needed to support the health, safety, and environmental aspects of nanotechnology. In the post-war era of the late 1940s, global leaders … Continue Reading
By Porter Wright on This Article Was Authored and Contributed by the American National Standards Intititute As the nanotechnology industry evolves, the need for globally relevant standards – from particle properties and terminology to health, safety, and the environment – is becoming increasingly apparent. This article, the first in a series, introduces how the U.S. is influencing nano-related standards … Continue Reading
By Porter Wright on The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) is at the cutting edge of nanotechnology standardization and nomenclature development. ANSI has graciously agreed to publish a 4-5 part series on their efforts in this regard — as well as their work with/through the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) — in Nanotechnology Law Report starting in our upcoming … Continue Reading
