Seminar on

The development of methods and instruments to characterize nanomaterials and the standardization

Shimadzu Corporation, JEOL Ltd., Rigaku Corporation, Hitachi High-Technologies

Corporation, Horiba Ltd., and AIST have started a new project in order to underpin the

Japanese industry through forming a solution providing platform to meet the needs of

nanomaterial manufacturers since 2013.

The first target of the project is the development of characterizing methods and

instruments to analyze the shape, size, and its distribution of nanomaterials. The focus

will also be put on the standardization of the developed methods.

The outline and recent activities of the project will be presented in the seminar.
