To answer these questions, the EC-funded NanoSustain project has been developing new sustainable solutions through an investigation of the life-cycle of nanotechnology-based products, in particular the physical and chemical characteristics of materials, hazard and exposure aspects, and end-of-life disposal or recycling to determine the fate and impact of nanomaterials.

A NanoSustain Factsheet is now available together with
four Case Studies which provide the following information: |
||
 A summary of the different materials and products tested within NanoSustain: |
||
| • Case Study #1: | Titanium dioxide for paints | |
| • Case Study #2: | Zinc oxide for glazing products | |
| • Case Study #3: | Carbon nanotubes epoxy resins for plastics - for structural or electrical/antistatic applications |
|
| • Case Study #4: | Nanocellulose for advanced paper applications | |
| Information about the individual experimental approaches |
||
| Descriptions of the different techniques developed |
||
| How these techniques have been successfully applied in physical-chemical characterisation; life-cycle analysis; final disposal; recycling |
