Final Workshop Project CarbonFibreCycle – Registration is open

Abschlussworkshop Projekt Carbon Fibre Cycle – Carbonfasern im Kreislauf, 19.-20.01.2023, KIT Campus Nord

Within the framework of the BMBF joint project “CFC – Carbon Fibre Cycle: Carbon fibers in the cycle” under the project management of KIT, numerous new methods and findings on the behavior, recycling, and potential impact of carbon fibers on humans and the environment have been obtained in recent years. At the final workshop on January 19 and 20 2023, the project consortium will present the achieved results to the public in the form of lectures and a poster session. The event is aimed at all those interested in this complex of topics. Registration deadline for the two-day workshop is December 06, 2022.

  • Further Information on the program, registration and submission of posters can be found in the Workshop Flyer (PDF)

 

WHENN: 19.-20.01.2023

WHERE: Karlsruhe Institute of Technology – Campus Nord, Hermann-von-Helmholtz-Platz 1, 76344 Eggenstein-Leopoldshafen

Participation & Registration: Participation in the workshop is free of charge. Please register (see workshop flyer) by 06.12.2022. There is the possibility to submit your own poster contributions. Details can be found in the flyer.

 

EUON Market report Nanomaterials 2022

New EUON market study on nanomaterials published

EUON market study on nanomaterials published – European nanomaterial market expected to grow

The latest study by the European Union Observatory for Nanomaterials (EUON) predicts growth in the European nanomaterial market over the period of 2021 – 2025. The study provides a list of nanomaterials currently on the market and identifies key market operators.

EUON has published a study report on the European Union market for nanomaterials, including substances, uses, volumes and key producers, traders and users. The study also covers the European Economic Area (EEA) countries and Switzerland.

According to the study, which was carried out in 2021 as a combination of literature research, surveys and interviews, the European nanomaterial market is expected to grow in the next five years in both volume and value. While Brexit had an impact on this projection, perhaps surprisingly, the SARS-COV-2 pandemic was not perceived by interview participants to lead to a market slow-down. It is worth noting that the study was carried out before the crisis arising from the war in Ukraine, and hence its impact on the study outcomes is not known. While the largest segment is currently the metal oxides market, growth is predicted to be driven mainly by nanoclays, nanocellulose and carbon-based nanomaterials…

Carbon fibers – A material with health risks?

Carbon fibers – A material with health risks? News from the NanoCare4 Project CarbonFibreCycle

Fragments of carbon fibers can be released during the processing and recycling of carbon fiber-reinforced plastic. What happens if the people involved inhale them? Do these fiber fragments pose a health hazard? KIT researchers are looking for answers together with other research and industry partners in the joint Carbon Fibre Cycle (CFC).

PEROSH & Gov4nano Projects Survey October 2022

Survey on Training practices on nanomaterials and advanced materials for workers safety and health

Training practices on nanomaterials and advanced materials for workers safety and health – Take part in the Online Survey

The PEROSH Nano-Training project, in cooperation with the H2020 Gov4Nano project, is inviting experts to participate in a survey on training practices on nanomaterials and advanced materials for workers safety and health. The survey will inform the development and further implementation of guidelines targeting workers involved in manufacturing, handling and processing of nanomaterials and advanced materials.

The guidelines will be shared with experts in the field, including all the PEROSH network of occupational health and safety organizations in Europe.

The survey is open to experts active in (one or more) of the fields of advanced materials, nanomaterials, training and education, risk management, occupational health and safety.

 

FDA Publishes Final Guidance for Industry on Nanomaterials in Drug Products

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has published the final guidance document for industry “Drug Products, Including Biological Products, that Contain Nanomaterials” . FDA states that the guidance applies broad array of FDA-regulated products such as human drug products, including those that are biological products, in which a nanomaterial is present in the finished dosage form. The guidance discusses both general principles and specific considerations for developing drug products containing nanomaterials through abbreviated pathways, as well as considerations for quality, nonclinical, and clinical studies as they relate to drug products containing nanomaterials throughout product development and production.
