New Nanofabrication Standard Approved in Iran for Luminous Nanomaterials
The development of this standard was put on the agenda of the Standards and Safety Group of Iran Nanotechnology Innovation Council in response to the needs of the nano research and industrial sectors in the field of electronics, the production of lighting devices and displays, as well as the study of luminous nanomaterials used in lighting and display applications.
The purpose of this standard is to provide a detailed specification without assigning values and a template for listing the essential optical and other specific features of single-scattering luminous nanomaterials. This standard enables the customer to specify the requirements in a standardized manner and to verify through standardized methods that the luminous nanomaterials have the required properties.
The mission of IEC Technical Working Group 113 (IECTC113) is to develop IEC publications based on quality management (QM) principles to facilitate the transition of nanomaterial and nanofabricated products from development phase to mass production
Iran has made nanotechnology a priority in recent years, achieving remarkable success. The nanotechnology research website StatNano has ranked Iran as fourth in the world in nanotechnology publications.
The number of scientific articles is deemed a significant parameter for measuring and comparing scientific development, according to StatNano that provides the global and regional ranking of the main indicators of nano science, technology, and industry. China was atop the rankings, followed by the United States and India.
International entities have acknowledged Iranian contributions to the field. In February 2022, the American Institute of Physics published a scholarly article on the use of nanomaterials for cancer treatment by Iranian scientists.
Among Iran's nanotechnology products, 42% are related to construction, 17% to petroleum and 13% to automobile manufacturing.
Nanotechnology refers to industrial production from atomic and molecule-sized matter. It leverages the properties of nanoparticles into a wide range of applications spanning a vast number of industries. Key accomplishments in the field of nanotechnology can be seen across a wide variety of engineering, energy and medical sectors.
