Reference materials for nanotechnologies
Published: Friday 24 July 2009
The German Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung (BAM) (Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing) has launched a website listing ‘Nanoscaled Reference Materials’. In cooperation with ISO/TC 229 Nanotechnologies, BAM has collated information on the world-wide commercially available nano-scale reference materials, as well as manufacturers and vendors.
According to the a recent press release, ‘about 65 nano-scale reference materials of different categories (step grating, nanoobjects, porosity...) are currently listed under the above link. Certified reference materials (CRMs) of the highest quality are included and these are usually offered by the national and European metrological state institutes (PTB/BAM, IRMM, NIST, AIST,...). Reference materials offered by companies or research institutes where the data necessary from a metrological point of view may be incomplete are also included. The compilation is being updated regularly.’
