Quantitative microstructural analysis - VAMAS/TWA 37

2019
Vasile‐Dan Hodoroaba

Summary

This report summarizes activities from the VAMAS Steering Committee meeting, highlighting contributions to standardizing quantitative microstructural analysis methods including approaches for characterizing micro- and nanoplastics. International standards bodies play an important role in developing the harmonized analytical methods needed for reliable microplastic research.

The 44th Meeting of the Versailles Project on Advanced Materials and Standards (VAMAS) Steering Committee has just taken place at NIST in Boulder (CO, USA). BAM participates with significant contributions in Technical Working Areas on nanoparticle and surface chemistry characterization, but also has positioned itself to new global material challenges and trends in the developement of advanced materials and their characterization, such as thermal properties, self-healing materials, and micro- and nanoplastic.
