to the synthesis and characterization of nanomaterials reinforced with different forms of carbon such as carbon nanotubes (CNT), C60, diamond, and pyrolitic graphite for many engineering and structural applications. Nanocomposite materials have been considered for a range of applications owing to their unique
Tumoricidal Effect of Photofrin and Nanomaterials
"... Abstract-- The uses of Nanoparticles (NPs) and nanorods (NRs) in Photodynamic Theapy (PDT) have tremendous multiple clinical applications in diagnostic as well as antitumor and in many microbial nonmicrobial treatments due to their high quantum yield, size dependent tunable emission of wavelength ov ..."

Chances and Risks of Nanomaterials for Health and Environment
"... Abstract. Nanomaterials have properties that are often very different from normal materials made of the same substance, which can be used to create novel products with exciting properties. However, the health and environmental impact of these nanomaterials is also changed and their potential risk ne ..."

combining synthesis of nanomaterials with required properties and limited impurities as well as scalability of the technique. Their industrial use faces many obstacles as there is no suitable regulatory framework and guidance on safety requirements; specific provisions have yet to be established in EU
Editorial: Environmental risks of engineered nanomaterials
"... doi:10.1631/jzus.A1400219 Ordinary materials such as carbon and silicon, when reduced to a nanoscale, often exhibit novel and unpredictable characteristics such as extraordinary strength, chemical reactivity, electrical conductivity, or other characteristics that the same material does not possess a ..."

at micro or macro scales (Aitken et al., 2004). When devices are fabricated with these materials in nanoscale, their properties and applications expand enormously. The new and invisibly tiny materials, nanomaterials, are revolutionizing many industries and are set to have dramatic and fundamental impacts
APPLICATION OF NANOMATERIALS IN THE SUSTAINABLE BUILT ENVIRONMENT
"... Abstract: Nanotechnology is widely regarded as one of the twenty-first century’s key technologies, and its economic importance is sharply on the rise. In the construction industry, nanomaterials has potentials that are already usable today, especially the functional characteristics such as increased ..."

Stimuli-Responsive Nanomaterials for Biomedical Applications
"... ABSTRACT: Nature employs a variety of tactics to precisely time and execute the processes and mechanics of life, relying on sequential sense and response cascades to transduce signaling events over multiple length and time scales. Many of these tactics, such as the activation of a zymogen, involve t ..."

THE DEVELOPMENT OF NANOMATERIALS AND AMORPHOUS REFERENCES AND THEIR USE IN PHARMACEUTICAL IDENTIFICATION AND CHARACTERIZATION
"... Historically, references for the Powder Diffraction File have been used for the identification of crystalline materials. The evaluation and verification of reference quality data for powder diffraction analyses depends on a well defined and indexed unit cell, and a verifiable composition that corres ..."

that corresponds to the unit cell and specific space group. Finally there should be a very close match between the experimental d-spacings and those calculated from the unit cell. These criteria are not useful for many nanomaterials and amorphous materials where the unit cell may be heavily distorted or non
HOW TO MAKE POLICY-RELEVANT LIFE CYCLE ASSESSMENTS OF FUTURE PRODUCTS? LESSONS LEARNED FROM NANOMATERIALS
"... There is a demand from policy-makers for knowledge about environmental impacts of nanomaterials, and life cycle assessment (LCA) is one method that can be used to obtain such knowledge. Here, we have reviewed 16 LCA and LCA-like studies of nanomaterials, and investigated how these studies handled th ..."
