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 MoreWorking with industrial partners in the DIAGONAL project, Vireo conducted a detailed nanomaterial life-cycle risk analysis (Nano LCRA) for a graphene-enabled functional fabric used in personal protective equipment. We are delighted to announce that this study has been published in NanoImpact. Using this unique link, you can read it without sign-up, registration or fees until January 25, 2024.
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 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 MoreResearchers from Brown University recently published their findings of their study in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences showed that graphene oxide-lined clothing deters mosquitos from living things by blocking the chemical signals which attract them.
Read MoreThe International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has released a new standard that links key properties of graphene to commercially available measurement techniques.
Read MoreMassachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) researchers have developed a way to use wax to transfer graphene, which tends to wrinkle and break when removed from the substrate it is grown on, to a new substrate.
Read MoreResearchers at Sichuan University have demonstrated the use of cellulose nanofibers (CNF) to enhance the mechanical strength of graphene-based films and lower the production costs of the material.
Read MoreA moldable, pliable, shapeable dough of graphene oxide has been developed by mixing ultrahigh concentrations with water.
