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.

Our 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.

Working 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.

Today, 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.

The 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:
