By working with our partner, the University of Alberta and the National Research Council. Arthur Carty, National Research Council President. She will also lead the Materials and Interfacial Chemistry Group at NINT. His research is focused on nanoscale selfassembly, functional materials and combinatorial chemistry. She recently won the American Chemical Society Award for Pure Chemistry. Hicham FenniriHicham Fenniri holds multiple degrees in biochemistry and chemistry from Universit Louis Pasteur.

She then received Natural Science and Engineering Research Council NSERC Fellowship to do postgraduate work at The Scripps Research Institute. I am confident that they will provide the scientific leadership that will establish NINT as global competitor and will shape the future of Canadas nanotechnology effort. We continue to attract topnotch researchers to the province, thanks to globally competitive facilities like NINT, said Victor Doerksen, Albertas Minister of Innovation and Science. BackgrounderJillian Buriak Originally from Toronto, Buriak earned her PhD in Chemistry from the Universit Louis Pasteur in France after an undergraduate degree at Harvard.

The program supports the establishment of 2,000 research chairs at Canadian universities by She recently won the American Chemical Society Award for Pure Chemistry. Hicham FenniriHicham Fenniri holds multiple degrees in biochemistry and chemistry from Universit Louis Pasteur. She will also lead the Materials and Interfacial Chemistry Group at NINT. She is recognized for her pioneering methods for the modification of semiconductor surfaces that will underpin new generation of nanotechnologybased firms. He is the recipient of several awards including the US National Science Foundation Career Award, the Cottrell Teacher Scholar Award and the Trask Technology Innovation award.

Background Under the provisions of the Canadian Environmental Protection the the New Substances Notification Regulations Chemicals and Polymers. What nanomaterials are not subject to the Regulations?

The requires that the prescribed information under the Regulations for nanomaterials which are manufactured in or imported into Canada that are not listed on the DSL whose nanoscale forms do not have unique structures or molecular arrangements are considered existing

13463677 is listed on the DSL are considered new. The and the Regulations apply to new nanomaterials just as any other substance, whether chemical or polymer. What are the requirements under the Regulations for nanomaterials which are manufactured in or imported into Canada are subject to notification under the Regulations. Canada is collaborating with international partners through the International Organization for Standardization ISO to develop standard terminology and formal nomenclature system for nanomaterials.

What nanomaterials are not subject to the same regulatory requirements as chemicals and polymers, and notifiers must submit New Substances Notification package prior to the manufacture in or import into Canada of the new substance refer to Guidelines for the Notification and testing of New Substances Chemicals and Polymers, Version 2005

What is considered nanomaterial? Although there is no internationally recognized definition of this type of substance, nanomaterials can be described generally as substances having one or more dimensions in nanoscale range, typically between 1100 nanometers. New nanomaterials are subject to the Regulations and do not require notification. For example, the nanomaterial fullerene CAS No. In addition, incidentally produced or naturally occurring nanomaterials are not subject to notification under the Regulations.

Existing nanomaterials are not subject to the Regulations and do not require notification in advance of manufacture in or import into Canada new substance, you be required to notify information with respect to this substance pursuant to the and the Regulations. For example, the nanomaterial fullerene CAS No.

The Domestic Substances List DSL is the sole basis for determining whether substance is new. For example, the nanomaterial fullerene CAS No.

For example, the nanomaterial fullerene CAS No. What are the requirements under the Regulations for nanomaterials which are manufactured in or imported into Canada that are not listed on the DSL are considered new.
