Visit advanced materialssuch as nanomaterialsthe 2D materials and thin films, play a crucial role in stimulating economic development and meeting the major challenges of the years ahead. These include mitigating the impact of climate change, advancing lightweight engineering, enhancing catalysis and improving medical applications.
To understand the performance of these materials and ensure that they are accepted in various sectors as safe and sustainable for people and the environment, reference procedures, materials and data are essential.
Visit inter-laboratory comparisons are a versatile tool for setting such benchmarks and forassess the skills of different laboratories. Initiatives such as the Versailles program on advanced materials and standards (VAMAS) provide a platform for international comparisons between laboratories.
Visit free online course organized this Thursday May 16 from 10:00 to 12:00 will present various examples of inter-laboratory comparisonsillustrating their impact on the development of reference materials.
It will also highlight the results of the EMPIR Improved traceability chain of nanoparticle size measurements (17NRM04, nPSize) and Standardisation of characterisation methods for the structural and chemical properties of graphene (19NRM04, ISO-G-SCoPe).
