University Of Texas Dallas
Abstract:
DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently classified carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as a new chemical substance. Consequently, CNTs are now subject to regulatory controls that require inventory control, quantificationof CNT amounts, and possibly toxicity tests.… More
