Our latest book chapter describes risk assessment frameworks and state-of-the-art approaches to assess nanomaterial risk with a specific focus on life-cycle risk analysis. Case studies for carbon nanotubes and cellulose nanomaterials put these theories into practice, guiding readers through model risk assessment processes.
Read MoreOur recent paper in RSC Advances describes how sulfated cellulose nanofibrils can be used for aqueous exfoliation and dispersion of monolayer and bilayer graphene from graphite.
Read MoreOur roundup of what’s new and notable in sustainable and biobased materials.
Read MoreTAPPI Nano is the preeminent conference on nanotechnology related to renewable nanomaterials. Vireo Advisors is taking a leadership role in program development, focusing on product stewardship, bio-based and sustainable materials, regulatory requirement, and health and safety sessions at the heart of this program.
Read MoreToday, Vireo Advisors is joining the NNI and nanotechnology-related organizations around the US in celebrating the 20th anniversary of the 21st Century Nanotechnology Research and Development Act.
Read MoreOur latest roundup includes news about regulatory actions on nanomaterials, food additives, bisphenols and partially hydrogenated oils; new databases for exposure assessment data and regulatory information; company news from UBQ, Performance Biofilaments Inc., Conagen and Amyris, Inc.; and publication of notable papers on safety assessment and safe and sustainable by design (SSbD) approaches.
Read MoreImpactful updates to environmental, health and safety regulations and assessment methods for chemicals, advanced materials and foods headline our latest new roundup.
Read MoreVireo has been working for the past decade to establish safety and support commercialization for microfibrillated cellulose, cellulose nanocrystals and a host of other emerging biomaterials. Our lead scientists are sharing their experience and provide practical guidance in presentations, posters, discussion panels and networking events at the 2023 TAPPI Nanotechnology Conference.
Read MoreThe last few weeks have seen a number of announcements related to nano and sustainable materials testing, regulation and commercialization. These are some of the top stories that caught our eyes:
Read MoreAn $80 million grant from the US DOE will allow AVAPCO LLC to ramp up production bioethanol and nanocellulose by upcycling woody residue from sawmills, paper, and pulp plants. Life cycle analysis provides a valuable tool for assessing the climate change and environmental benefits.
