The role that nanoparticles play in the rapidly developing field of ‘NanoMedicine’ has been discussed previously in Chapter 5. In this Chapter, we review the specific mechanisms by which such nanoparticles are designed and formulated and in which NTA has had a significant part to play.

Influence of temperature on the size of polymer nanoparticles

Collaboration between the University of Montreal and PerkinElmer shows how the unique capability of single particle inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (SP-ICP-MS) can be used to assess the environmental impact of engineered nanomaterials.

How emerging applications in life sciences and environmental analysis are driving renewed interest in the unique properties of ICP-TOFMS

Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis (NTA) has found use in a variety of investigations researching the toxicity and environmental impact of nanoparticles. Here we discuss various publications in which NTA has been used to measure particle size and concentration of nanomaterials in waste water.

This white paper reviews the use of Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis (NTA) in addressing this need

Christy Haynes talks about challenges in nanoparticles.

Nanotechnology is an emerging and rapidly growing field whose dynamics and prospects pose many great challenges to scientists and engineers

Recent studies have shown that some nanoparticles may be harmful to humans.
