t scale up protocols. However, both aspects of the material production and the economics of the scale-up need to be considered. There is no point in having a highly efficient material if it is at a price point that is too expensive for the end-user (the potential paying customer). Likewise, if a material is lower cost but sub-standard in its quality, it is not viable for many end-user applications. Whilst this approach may yield a customer once or twice, it is not a strategy for long-term customer retention. The way to ensure happy customers in the long-term is through balancing (and optimising) the scale-up process to produce a material of good quality at an attractive price point.
The Business of Scale-Up - The economic side of the business is key. If a price is not considered feasible at the first point-of-view, then it is unlikely that a sale will be made or that the client will return in the future. In the nanotechnology industry, there can be huge variations in the price of some materials, and from a purchaser’s perspective, this can be pivotal whether they use a material, regardless of the quality.

A specific revision of the REACH information requirements for nanomaterials has now been adopted by the European Commission. The amendments clarify what information companies placing substances in nanoform on the market need to provide in their registration dossiers. The new rules apply as of 1 January 2020.The new requirements will enable both com...
Photovoltaic (PV) systems, which harvest sustainable and clean energy from the sun, accumulate dirt or particles like dust, water and sand. This build-up leads to a reduction in the light energy reaching the solar cells and lowers their power output by up to 50 %, according to some studies. Therefore, it’s crucial to keep them clean. However,...
If a chemical does not bioaccumulate and is not highly toxic, do we need to worry about it building up in the environment?After PFOS and PFOA manufacture was discontinued due to fears about potential health effects, companies had to find substitutes that could provide the same technical benefits of perfluorinated chemicals, or PFCs.T...
The European Commission adopted the revision of several Annexes of the EU Regulation on Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH), clarifying the registration requirements with regard to nanomaterials. Nanomaterials are chemical substances in a particular form ("nanoform") with special features at the "nanosc...
Scientists from the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre (JRC) have produced an inventory of publicly available tools for the safety assessment of nanomaterials. The NANoREG Toolbox covers an unprecedented range of over 500 tools, developed in Europe and internationally.According to the JRC, the EU funded NANoREG project made an extens...
