The technology scouting services arm of Del Stark Technology Solutions has published a new technology briefing on Molybdenum Disulfide (MoS2), which can be described as an inorganic analogue of Graphene. Molybdenum Disulfide has demonstrated exciting properties including a low coefficient of friction, robustness and a direct electronic bandgap. This has excited the research community and industry as future electronic circuits and components could be made from MoS2.
Why is this of interest? Graphene is currently grabbing the headlines and is the topic of many papers and patents including composite materials, conductive and transparent coatings and touch screen displays, but Graphene needs to be modified in order to create a bandgap and MoS2 exhibits a bandgap naturally. Molybdenum disulfide has been used for many years as an industrial lubricant and many scientists believe it can be used as a 2-D platform for electronic devices. MoS2 could radically impact the electronics industry and its growing area of research and product development in producing the next generation of transistors.
The report highlights academic research published in 2012 that could be of interest to companies developing new technologies that involve inorganic nanomaterials. The report also highlights companies and research organisations that are patenting.

REACH Centre joins discussion on EU Definition of Nanomaterials
Dear Colleague,
We are pleased to announce that Matteo Dalla Valle from the
REACH Centre as well as Denis Koltsov will now be joining us for our next
Webinar.
Update on the EU Nanomaterials Definition:
Impact of Recent EU and JRC Publications
When: Wednesday 14th November
15:00 GMT (16:00 CET, 07:00 PST, 10:00 EST)
and
17:00 GMT (18:00 CET, 09:00 PST, 12:00 EST)
Register at: http://bit.ly/SMplu6
In this 30 minutes webinar we will:
• Review
the JRC methods document and discuss the key conclusions and the challenges
presented.
• Outline
the EU's Second Regulatory Review and forthcoming legislation where it will
have most impact.
• Report on
the USA perspective concerning regulation of nanomaterials. This reporting will
include matters tabled at SENN2012 - International Congress on Safety of
Engineered Nanoparticles and Nanotechnologies, at the end of this month in
Helsinki.
As part of this fully interactive presentation you will be
able to put your question to Matteo, Denis and myself, so please take advantage
of this opportunity to clarify any queries you may have.
To register either reply to this email or visit our
registration page at http://bit.ly/SMplu6
Background Information
The six months since our last webinar on Nanomaterials has
seen publication of two important documents:
• The Joint
Research Centre (JRC) have produced Requirements on measurements for the
implementation of the European Commission Definition of the Term
"nanomaterial".
• The
Commission of the European Union have published their Second Regulatory Review
on Nanomaterials.
Whilst the first document describes potential
characterisation methodologies for Nanomaterials, the second document
emphasises the EU's support of the Nanomaterials definition from 2011 and
restates intent that this be part of legislation.
For more information on the impact of these two documents
and how NanoSight can help go to http://www.nanosight.com.
Please join us for this informative and interactive webinar.
Kind regards,
Jeremy Warren
