Tools and Resources

ADMGRID

Advanced Materials Guidance for Risk Informed Deployment (AdMGRID)
Designed to guide users through a tiered testing framework to help characterize the durability, degradation, potential for advanced materials including release and environmental health and safety implications of nano-enabled products. AdMGRID is an update to NanoGRID, but specifically includes differences between conventional and advanced materials, including materials generated from advanced and additive manufacturing.

Nano NAV-PAL

Nano-Enabled Navigation for Product Acquisition and Liability
Enables businesses and others in nano-manufacturing to access information needed to make informed decisions about producing or integrating nano-scale materials in products. These resources will help businesses evaluate the environmental health and safety (EHS) risks associated with nano products, and understand regulatory statutes in the United States to facilitate compliance.

NANO INSURANCE

Insurance for Nano-focused Small Businesses
Helps nano-focused small businesses better understand the insurance process, as well as the steps they can take to reduce product uncertainties that might cause an insurer to either decline to insure or only offer a policy that is prohibitively expensive (requires Google Chrome). Link to Tool

NanoTRACK

Particle Tracking Model (PTM)
Designed to allow users to simulate localized particle transport processes which appropriately represents transport, settling, deposition, mixing and resuspension processes in nearshore wave/current conditions. Demo Video Link to Tool Available Soon

LIFE CYCLE ASSESSMENT FOR NANO-ENABLED PRODUCTS

Life Cycle Assessment Supports Nano-Enabled Product Development
for Small Businesses

Proactive and systematic approaches like Life Cycle Assessment can help small businesses identify stages of their product life cycle that require improvement - either from an efficiency or safety standpoint - and produce safe and sustainable nano-enabled products. Video
