The liaison report from the ISO Technical Committee ISO/TC 202 'Microbeam Analysis' for the November 2022 ISO/TC 229 Nanotechnologies Plenary Meeting Nanotechnologies Liaison Coordination Group (NLCG) is provided. Essential Information such as newly published standards and projects in develeopment relevant for ISO/TC 229 resulted from the progress within the last year and additional comments on behalf of ISO/TC 202 are included in the report.
The progress in the activities on Microbeam Analysis under VAMAS/TWA 37 is reviewed. Particularly the liaison with the new projects within the ISO technical committee TC 202 is presented and discussed with respect to the possibility of identifying and launching related VAMAS projects/inter-laboratory comparisons. The recently started project FIB sample processing for TEM is presented. Next projects in the pipeline involving EBSD and TKD are shortly announced. The need of more promotion for the engagement of more experts from industry and academia at national, European and international level is highlighted. Also, the competition with the other technical working areas (on 'nano' or materials-related) is critically discussed.
Experience gained at BAM within the European project ISGScope on the accurate measureemnt of graphene oxide flakes by electron microscopy is presented. Particularly, factors such as the type of solvent, substrate temperature, but also proper, gentle measurement parameters and image analysis conditions towards automation are highlighted. The measurement procedures in develeopment are being prepared to launch an inter-laboratory comparison under VAMAS (TWA41) as preparatory guidance for future standardisation at ISO.
Nanoparticle Populations
(2022)
Two new projects P15 Measurement of particle size and shape distribution of bipyramidal titania including deposition from liquid suspension and P16 Measurement of (relative) number concentration of bimodal silica nanoparticles including deposition from liquid suspension have been started at VAMAS/TWA 34 under the lead of BAM. First results are presented and discussed.
Quantitative Microstructural Analysis - VAMAS TWA 37 & Liaison with ISO/TC 202 Microbeam Analysis
(2022)
The progress in activities on Microbeam Analysis under VAMAS/TWA 37 is reviewed. Particularly the liaison with the new projects within the ISO technical committee TC 202 is presented and discussed with respect to the possibility of identifying and launching related VAMAS projects. The recently started project FIB sample processing for TEM is highlighted. Need of more promotion for the engagement of more participants from industry and academia at national, European and international level is highlighted. Also, the competition with the other technical working areas (on 'nano' or materials-related) is critically discussed. Further, a short overview of the VAMAS areas of activities is given where Germany is involved. Planed regional VAMAS Workshops in Germany in 2023 are announced.
To obtain reliable data on micro- and nanoplastics (MPs, NPs) BAM (Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing) is organizing interlaboratory comparisons (ILCs). Main focus is detection and physico-chemical characterisation. The accuracy and precision of the results of different laboratories and comparability of the results among the participants are addressed. The ILCs will be performed in the following order: i) ILC #1: Detection and Characterisation of MPs (1-1000 µm) and ii) ILC #2: Detection and Characterisation of NPs (< 1 µm).
For the ILC #1 the parameters to be analysed are: particle size distribution, shape, mass content, particle concentration, with thermoanalytic (Py-GC/MS, TED-GC/MS) and spectroscopy (µ-Raman, µ-FTIR) methods. For the ILC #2 the parameters are: particle size distribution, shape, particle concentration, with methods such as spectroscopical (Raman), Electron Microscopies (SEM, AFM), etc. Exact measurands and methods are still under discussion. BAM will provide test materials of well-known stability and homogeneity. ILC participants will include partners of the CUSP (the European research cluster to understand the health impacts of micro- and nanoplastics), and any other institutions over the world. The ILCs will take place under the international pre-standardisation platform VAMAS, new Technical Working Area 35 “Micro and Nano Plastics in the Environment” (http://www.vamas.org/twa45/).
