EC Establishes Nanomaterials Repository

Posted: February 16, 2011

page 2 of 2

Specifically, the repository includes most nanomaterials currently assumed to be used in significant volumes in consumer products. The nanomaterials in the repository were produced in collaboration with the German Fraunhofer Institute for Molecular Biology and Applied Ecology (IME) under Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) conditions. The 25 types of materials include: carbon nanotubes, silver nanoparticles, titanium dioxide, cerium oxide, zinc oxide, bentonite, gold and silicon dioxide. For more information, visit the JRC website.
