Carbon Nanomaterials Standards Efforts at NIST

May 24, 2009
Author(s)
Jeffrey A. Fagan
Development of carbon nano-materials for applications has been hindered to date by a lack of standard protocols, i.e. documentary standards, and physical standards such as reference materials, which enable the common inter-comparison between laboratories
