and processing of nanomaterials. He suggested that an industry association (such as his own) could play that role..

Regulators rely on current law (or modifications of them) for nanomaterials and applications. REACH13 is used but is identified as a blunt instrument by labour organisations as it fails to cover certain substances in very small quantities Differing positions between enactors and comparative selectors:

while some nanomaterials will be produced below that level. 1236 D. K. R. Robinson/Technological forecasting & Social Change 76 (2009) 1222-1239 standards causes complication:

Nanomaterials are an essential part of the overall field of nanotechnology. They can be T. Fleischer et al./

Some nanomaterials-based products and processes are already on the marketplace, many more will very likely be seen in the near or mid-term future.

Nanomaterials show great economic potential e g. by substituting other materials or by making available new functionalities and thus enabling new products and creating new markets.

It is expected also that nanomaterials may contribute to the reduction of the ecological footprint of classical production processes by reducing energy and material consumption.

For nanomaterials, two layers of assessment exist. The first one is the assessment of the impacts of its production.

or about the health and environmental hazards that actually can arise from nanomaterials, the general methodology can be adapted from procedures that are used broadly in the assessment of conventional materials technologies.

Rather than the nanomaterials themselves, their use in new products and processes and their application in existing or new contexts,

science and technology roadmaps in the domain of nanomaterials will be developed. In the first phase, an international working group integrating roadmap developers

nanomaterials experts and knowledge transfer organisations will build branch specific roadmaps for three different industrial sectors on

which nanomaterials are expected to have major influence. In a second step, these roadmaps shall be adapted to the business culture of small and medium enterprises (SME.

Among other goals, the project aims at structuring the R&d field of nanomaterials, at building a knowledge base for further detailed investigations about the potential of nanomaterials, especially with regard to sustainable development,

or made possible through the usage of nanomaterials. Some reflections on the role that science roadmapping can play for research organisations

Within the context of ongoing empirical analyses of nanotechnology(‘nano')R&d, we focus here on how nanomaterials are being used to enhance the performance of solar cells,

and among organisations. 4. 4. Determine potential applications (Step E) We introduced a new technique called‘cross-charting'to explore the links from technological attributes (e g. particular nanomaterials or nanostructures and particular technical advances) to functional

and advantageous nanomaterials. The idea is that this helps focus monitoring efforts to seek out advances that could facilitate our desired application.

Conversely, we would direct less attention to other nanomaterials and solar cell types that offer less potential gain for our target application.
