A common European approach to the regulatory testing of nanomaterials (NANOREG)
Start date: Mar 1, 2013, End date: Feb 28, 2017,
The innovative and economic potential of Manufactured Nano Materials (MNMs) is threatened by a limited understanding of the related EHS issues. While toxicity data is continuously becoming available, the relevance to regulators is often unclear or unproven. The shrinking time to market of new MNM drives the need for urgent action by regulators. NANoREG is the first FP7 project to deliver the answe ...

Synthesis of Advanced top Nano-coatings with improved Aerodynamic and De-icing behavior (SANAD)
Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2016,
"The efficiency of modern transportation is severely compromised by the prevalence of turbulent drag and icing. The high level of turbulent skin-friction occurring, e.g., on the surface of an aircraft, is responsible for excess fuel consumption and increased carbon emissions. The environmental, political, and economic pressure to improve fuel efficiency and reduce carbon emissions associated with ...

Managing Risks of Nanoparticles (MARINA)
Start date: Nov 1, 2011, End date: Oct 31, 2015,
While there are standard procedures for product life cycle analysis, exposure, hazard, and risk assessment for traditional chemicals, is not yet clear how these procedures need to be modified to address all the novel properties of nanomaterials. There is a need to develop specific reference methods for all the main steps in managing the potential risk of ENM. The aim of MARINA is to develop such ...

High-throughput development of carbon-polymer nanocomposites for marine applications (CARBONCOMP)
Start date: Sep 1, 2011, End date: Aug 31, 2015,
One of the major obstacles in the effective use of nanostructured carbon as reinforcement in polymer matrix composites is their agglomeration and poor dispersion within the metallic matrix. To overcome this obstacle the proposed project will synthesize and functionalize nanoscaled polymers of carbon nanotubes (mainly) and graphene sheets by employing environmentally friendly and cost-effective met ...

Nanotechnology for Market (NANO4M)
Start date: Sep 30, 2008, End date: Sep 29, 2011,
... several markets/technologies are the best basis for the project to reach its objectives. Each region is represented by a Regional or Local Authority and one or two Research and Technological Centers. Besides, NANO4M will offer an adequate forum for an innovative approach: the integration and implementation of new knowledge and skills through the creation of interdisciplinary expert groups.Some ac ...

Development of Exposure Scenarios for Manufactured Nanomaterials (NANEX)
Start date: Dec 1, 2009, End date: Nov 30, 2010,
Nanotechnology is a fast growing industry producing a wide variety of manufactured nanomaterials (MNMs) and numerous potential applications. Consequently, the potential for exposure to humans and the environment is likely to increase. Human exposure to MNMs and environmental release of these materials can occur during all the life cycle stages of these materials. For each stage of the life cycle o ...
