Title
Characterizing particle release from polymer nanocomposites
Author(s)
Uddin, NM; Nyden, MR
Year
2011
Abstract
Engineered nanoparticles are increasingly being used as fire retardants and performance additives in polymeric materials.
Size and ability to interact with biological molecules, nanoadditives may pose significant health and environmental risks if they are released into the environment.
In an effort to gain a better understanding of the potential hazards associated with the commercialization of polymer nanocomposites, we have undertaken an investigation into the nature of the particles that may be released during routine use of these materials.
