Agglomeration and aggregation of nanoparticles

The question of nanoparticle agglomeration and aggregation is important for many issues, from product performance and associated quality control, to production process optimization, risk assessment and associated regulatory requirements. In France, the mandatory annual declaration of substances in the nanoparticulate state (R-Nano register) requires information on the state of aggregation of nanoparticles...

NMF Webinar - 04/26/24

Many nanomaterials are handled in the form of powders, which means that we need to be able to assess the various risks associated with their handling and storage. Traditional studies on assessing the explosion and flammability risks of powders have, however, focused mainly on micrometer-sized materials, which is insufficient for assessing the risks of nanopowders. Over the last 10 years, INERIS has...

Webinar NMF-Concentration of nanoparticles 03/22/2024

Measuring the concentration of nanoparticles in liquids is important for a number of reasons. Whether (i) to support regulatory requirements (particularly those for medical devices - MDs - where assessment of possible nanoparticle release during use of the MD can modify its classification in the eyes of the authorities), (ii) to provide data as part of risk assessment (environmental or health), (iii) to validate the...
