Nanotechnology Services
Intertek’s experts offer solutions to help your business bring nanotechnology-based materials and products to the marketplace.
Nanotechnology involves the design and manufacturing of materials between 1 to 100 nanometer in at least one dimension, with the intention of improving the performance. Nanotechnology is projected to influence a wide range of industries such as medicine, nutrition, electronics, energy, environmental science, chemicals and agriculture. Although limited information is currently available, there is also legitimate concern that the very same properties of nanomaterials that render them unique (e.g., size, relative surface area, chemistry and functionality) may be associated with unanticipated biological effects and toxicity in humans and the environment.
