  2. 1. Contributions to Emission, Exposure and Risk Assessment of Nanomaterials

    Author : Rickard Arvidsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; nanoparticles; particle flow analysis; emission assessment; titanium dioxide; graphene; silver; risk assessment; exposure assessment; Nanomaterials; substance flow analysis.;

    Abstract : In recent years, synthetic nanomaterials have begun to be produced and used in increasingly larger volumes. These materials may cause new or increased risks to the environment, but no harmonized methods for structured assessment of their environmental risks exist. READ MORE

  4. 2. Engineered nanomaterials for biomedical applications

    Author : Neus Feliu Torres; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Engineered nanomaterials (ENM) have emerged as attractive and promising candidates for a wide range of advanced applications including in particular in medicine. However, the increased development of ENM raises the need to carefully assess their potential impact on human health and environment. READ MORE

  5. 3. The aquatic ecotoxicity of manufactured silica nanomaterials and their interactions with organic pollutants

    Author : Frida Book; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : Manufactured silica nanomaterials are one of the nanomaterials consumed in the highest volumes (more than 4 000 000 tons/year/globally) and are used in a wide range of products and industries such as food, cosmetics, coatings, paints, textiles, concrete and the paper and pulp industry. They also provide promising properties that help solving societal challenges, such as water remediation, by binding contaminants. READ MORE

  6. 4. Toxicity and biocompatibility of nanoparticles, and studies on oxidative stress and DNA damage

    Author : Ylva Rodhe; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Oxidative stress is associated with several diseases, either as a cause or a consequence. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is one example of a disease in which elevated levels of oxidative stress are frequently reported. READ MORE

  7. 5. Mesoporous magnesium carbonate : Synthesis, characterization and biocompatibility

    Author : Sara Frykstrand Ångström; Maria Strømme; Johan Gómez de la Torre; Natalia Ferraz; Mika Lindén; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; mesoporous; magnesium carbonate; pore size control; cytotoxicity; in vivo; skin irritation; acute systemic toxicity; hemocompatibility; Ca2 uptake; solubility enhancement; Engineering Science with specialization in Nanotechnology and Functional Materials; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot nanoteknologi och funktionella material;

    Abstract : Mesoporous materials constitute a promising class of nanomaterials for a number of applications due to their tunable pore structure. The synthesis of most mesoporous materials involves a surfactant liquid crystal structure to form the pores. READ MORE
