o Develop reference libraries of precision engineered
nanomaterials that represent materials for basic mechanistic
investigations and that are projected for commercial use
Academic institutions in
partnerships with small
start-ups that could
provide the materials as
a service to users.
o Provide the above reference materials to groups that need
them for testing. Support the use of those materials with
analytical data for each batch and supporting documentation
describing best practices for storing and handling the
materials
Universities o Develop protocols and use these to test the biological and
toxicological impacts of materials. Develop hypotheses that
help guide redesign of materials that are greener.
3. Investigate and understand reaction mechanisms to support more efficient and
