TL;DR: The method has been applied to radiolabel industrially manufactured SiO2 nanoparticles and can be controlled in such a way that no alterations of the 7Be-labelled nanoparticles are detectable by dynamic light scattering, X-ray diffraction and electron microscopy.

TL;DR: In this article, a fast and effective wet-chemistry method was presented to obtain the pure alpha-emitter 211At/211gPo (T1/2 = 7.214 h/516 ms), produced by 209Bi(α,2n) reaction in NCA form.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that sufficient activities of (7)Be radioisotope can be produced in carbon black and nanotube that would facilitate studies of their possible impact on human and environment.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assess all NanoDefine powders, supplemented by further real-world materials (in total 26 powders), and quantitatively compare the relationship between the median size (by Electron Microscopy) vs. the size derived from VSSA.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the proposed model of Lecloux does not constitute a basis for practical implementation of the EC’s definition of nanomaterial using gas adsorption techniques, and neither correspond to the generally accepted definition of VSSA nor relate to the commonly used experimental methods for determining VSSA.
