EUON is proud to announce that the chapter “Nanoregisters in Europe” from the recently published book “Particle Technology and Textiles: Review of Applications” has just been made available to the public.
The chapter introduces the creation of national nano inventories, with a focus on the French, Belgian, and Danish nano registers. It also covers the Cosmetic Products Notification Portal and EUON in separate sub-chapters.
EUON, which is funded by the European Commission and hosted by ECHA, has financed the chapter’s availability for everyone free of charge.
The chapter can also be accessed via the EUON page National reporting schemes which has seen some updates in all 23 EU official languages.
How can host-associated microbiota affect the toxicity of nanoparticles? In this guest column, Dr Bregje Brinkmann discusses the direct interactions between microbiota, the host, and nanoparticles. Additionally, she elaborates on the latest research conducted on this subject.
In our latest guest column, Dr Bentejui Medina-Clavijo and Prof. Andrey Chuvilin take us on a historical journey to explore findings that confirm that when we talk about metals, “smaller is stronger”. They also describe the structure of metals, the latest research on how the friction process between two metals can change their surface properties and how industry can benefit from this.
The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) is hosting a free webinar on Determination of the Hydrophobicity Index of Nanomaterials Through an Affinity Measurement. It will present the method to determine the hydrophobicity index of nanomaterials, through an affinity measurement, described in the OECD Test Guideline No. 126.
The webinar will take place on Wednesday, 20 September from 14:00 to 15:30 (CEST).
Register now to learn the use and limitation of this test guideline and the validation exercise that was done to support its development.
Simultaneous interpretation will be provided in English and Spanish.
Are substances in nanoforms more dangerous than they are in their normal size? Some are and some are not. Just like any other chemical substance, nanomaterials have to be assessed separately.
Nanomaterials are not only used in consumer products, but also in new and innovative medical treatments. Research has shown that nanoparticles can be used to damage and even destroy cancer cells from within.
