	Nanomaterial Engineering Group - University of Sheffield (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		The Nanomaterial Engineering Group is part of the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Sheffield.
		Nanomaterial engineering is concerned with the application of molecular materials - that is, materials whose macroscopic properties are primarily determined by their molecular properties.
		This is in contrast to most inorganic device structures, where the properties of individual molecules do not enable researchers to easily predict the properties of the material when many of these molecules are assembled.

		Dispersion of the nanomaterials throughout the selected liquid medium is achieved by physical and chemical treatments to yield a fluid composition having an enhanced thermal conductivity as compared to the neat fluid alone.
		The carbon nanomaterial containing dispersion may also contain a large amount of one or more other chemical compounds, such as polymers, antiwear agents, friction reducing agents, anti-corrosion agents, detergents, metal passivating agents, antioxidants, etc. that are not for the purpose of dispersing, but to achieve thickening or other desired fluid characteristics.
		For practical application an effective amount of carbon nanomaterials is usually in a range of from between 0.01 percent to 20 percent, and more preferably in a range of from 0.02 to 10 percent, and most preferably in a range of from between 0.05 percent to 5 percent.

	EPA Backs Nanomaterial Safety Research (washingtonpost.com)
		The grants to a dozen universities mark the first significant federal effort to assess the biological and medical implications of nanotechnology, a burgeoning field of science that is expected to become a trillion-dollar industry within the next decade.
		Several experiments are already underway that involve deliberately spreading nanomaterials in the environment despite some studies suggesting they can accumulate in the food chain and kill ecologically important microorganisms.
		With hundreds of tons of nanomaterials already being made in U.S. labs and factories every year -- and the release this year of several cautionary reports from European scientific organizations and insurance companies -- activists have become more vocal in their demands for safety studies.

		The EPA is not the only federal agency looking into the safety of nanomaterials.
		The National Toxicology Program, a part of the National Institutes of Health, recently agreed to conduct animal studies to investigate the effects of nanoparticles in the lungs and on the skin, and their uptake and distribution into and through the body.
		But compared to the federal investment in nanotech's "applications," the investment in the field's "implications" remains far too small, said Hope Shand, research director for ETC Group, an Ottawa-based research and advocacy organization that has called for a moratorium on commercializing nanotech products until governments adopt stricter oversight programs.

	(WO 03/106600) ENHANCING THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY OF FLUIDS WITH GRAPHITE NANOPARTICLES AND CARBON NANOTUBE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		The compositions contain at a minimum, a fluid media such as oil or water, and a selected effective amount of carbon nanomaterials necessary to enhance the thermal conductivity of the fluid.
		One of the preferred carbon nanomaterials is a high thermal conductivity graphite, exceeding that of the neat fluid to be dispersed therein in thermal conductivity, and ground, milled, or naturally prepared with mean particle size less than 500 nm, and preferably less than 200nm, and most preferably less than 100nm.
		The thermal conductivity enhancement, compared to the fluid without carbon nanomaterial, is somehow proportional to the amount of carbon nanomaterials (carbon nanotubes and/or graphite) added.
