Correlative imaging by high-resolution SEM with STEM-in-SEM as well as with EDS, and further with AFM, or with the new technique TKD (Transmission Kikuchi Diffraction) will be explained on various examples of nanostructures, both as starting materials and as embedded/functionalized nanoparticles in products. The unique analytical benefits of the Auger electron probe as a veritable nano-tool for the local surface chemistry will be highlighted. Examples of hybrid analysis of the bulk of nanomaterials by X-ray Spectroscopy and the highest surface-sensitive methods XPS and ToF-SIMS as advanced surface characterization methods available in the Competence Centre nano@BAM will be showed. Particularly for the spatially resolved analysis of the chemistry of nanostructures, such in-depth and lateral gradients of chemistry within mesoporous thin layers, or the completeness of the shells of core-shell nanoparticles, the latter methods are inherent. Other dedicated developments like approaches for the quantitative determination of the porosity of thin mesoporous layers by electron probe microanalysis (EPMA) with SEM or the quantitative determination of the roughness of particle surface by high-resolution imaging with electron microscopy will be also presented.

A1 - Hodoroaba, Vasile-Dan T1 - Holistic, reliable and practical Characterization Framework for Graphene Family Materials, a correlated approach including Imaging based techniques N2 - ACCORDs is an Horizon Europe project working in the development of an imaging-based characterization framework (ACCORDs framework) for the holistic correlative assessment of Graphene Family Materials (GFMs) as a representative of 2D nanomaterials (NMs) to assess and predict 2D NMs health and environmental risks. The ACCORDs framework will operationalise safe and sustainable by design (SSbD) strategies proposed in past or ongoing H2020 projects or within OECD by correlating low-, medium-, and high-resolution physico-chemical-biological imaging-based methods with non-imaging methods in a tiered approach. ACCORDs will deliver the ACCORDs framework and user guidance, new imaging-based characterisation methods, reference in vitro tests, new reference 2D NMs for different matrices, a new minimum information reporting guideline for FAIR data sharing and reuse of images as well as an atlas with reference images for diagnostics of compromised safety of GFMs/GFM products. The new guidelines and standard proposals will be submitted to standardisation bodies to allow creation of regulatory ready products. The novelty of ACCORDs is in translating the principles of medical imaging-based diagnostics to 2D material hazard diagnostics. ACCORDs will accelerate industrial sectors in the area of aviation, marine construction, drone production, flexible electronics, photovoltaics, photocatalytics and print inks-based sensors. The value ACCORDs proposes to the graphene industry are practical, easy, imaging-based tools for GFM quality monitoring next to the production line with a possibility to be correlated with advanced highresolution imaging characterization methods in case hazard i.e. deviation from controls (benchmark values) are diagnosed. The ACCORDs framework and tools will contribute to the European Green Deal by addressing the topic: “Graphene: Europe in the lead” and to a new European strategy on standardization, released on 2nd February, 2022 T2 - Joint Regulatory Risk Assessors Summit – Advancing Safety & Sustainability Assessments of Advanced Materials CY - Paris, France DA - 19.06.2025 KW - Graphene-related 2D materials (GR2M) KW - Imaging KW - SSbD KW - ACCORDs PY - 2025 UR - https://macrame-project.eu/macrame-meetings-workshops/jointrras/#Agenda AN - OPUS4-63660 LA - eng AD - Bundesanstalt fuer Materialforschung und -pruefung (BAM), Berlin, Germany ER - TY - CONF A1 - Fagan, Jeffrey A1 - Hodoroaba, Vasile-Dan T1 - VAMAS TWA Nanoparticle Populations Projects 15 and 16 N2 - The progress in the VAMAS Project #15 "Measurement of particle size and shape distribution of bipyramidal titania including deposition from liquid suspension" within TWA 34 Nanoparticle Populations is presented with highlight of the following points: - Determine and compare particle size and shape distribution by means of electron microscopy (SEM, TEM, STEM-in-SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). - Determine uncertainty induced by deposition protocol from liquid suspension with comparison to known values from a prior ILC with already deposited nanoparticles on TEM grids. - Provide comparative validation of protocols for the techniques other than TEM.

Just several years ago the Si-Li detector has been the mostly widespread type of detector. Since four-five years, silicon drift detector (SDD) EDS providing comparable (in many cases even better) energy resolutions at much higher count rates than the conventional Si-Li’s have got the breakthrough on the market.

T1 - High-resolution SEM with coupled transmission mode and EDX for quick characterization of micro- and nanocapsules for self-healing anti-corrosion coatings N2 - More and more sub-micro and nano-materials shall be "quickly", but accurately characterized with respect to their morphology, shape, size or size distribution, but also to the chemical composition as well by means of an SEM/EDX (Scanning Electron Microscopy / X-Ray Energy Dispersive Spectrometry) system. This undertaking is becoming successful indeed if the transmission mode at low voltages such as those at a SEM, i. e. mostly up to 30 kV, and EDX, respectively is employed. The transmission mode at conventional SEM can e "activated" firstly by re-defining the specimen to be analyzed and preparing it as a thin specimen, which is quasi-transparent to electrons and by finding a way of collecting only the transmitted electrons for analysis. The first issue can be easily realized by using the conventional TEM grids (and the respective sample preparation); the second one becomes feasible either (i) by placing a socalled STEM semiconductor detector directly under the thin specimen or (ii) by using a Special transmission set-up, which enables to the conventional Everhart-Thornley detector to collect only transmitted electrons by blocking the direct collection of secondary electrons and guiding only the transmitted electrons onto it.

Significant efforts within the ISO technical committee TC 229 ‘Nanotechnologies’ are aimed at establishing accurate TEM and SEM measurement of NP size and shape as robust, standard procedures. Study groups have been organizing inter-laboratory comparisons on well-selected NP systems according to the market needs, such as aggregated titania nano-powder for which size and shape distribution of primary crystallites of irregular shape must be measured accurately. To be noticed is e. g. the fact that the measurement procedure allows only manual selection of the particles clearly distinguishable for analysis as well as manual definition of the contour of the imaged NPs. An inter-laboratory exercise on titania NPs (pure anatase, grown by hydrothermal synthesis) of well-defined non-spherical shape, i.e. bipyramidal has been recently started within ISO/TC 229 under similar conditions as for the irregular shaped titania. Overlapped particles were allowed to be considered, as long as they are clearly distinguishable. One decisive NP selection criterion was to analyze only those NPs with a roundness value below 0.7, i.e. the NPs laying on the support foil and, hence, with projection areas clearly deviating from perfect circles (R=1). The overall evaluation (for 15 labs) of the size descriptors (area, Feret, minFeret, perimeter) and shape descriptors (aspect ratio, roundness, compactness, extent) by analysis of variance is just to be finished and included in ISO/WD 21363 Nanotechnologies -- Protocol for particle size distribution by transmission electron microscopy.
