Joint publication of the NMBP-16 projects

Thanks to the good collaboration between the 3 NMBP-16 sister projects – DIAGONAL, HARMLESS and SUNSHINE – a new publication got published in the Environmental Science:Nano journal on the special issue on Advanced Materials.

In this publication entitled “Similarity of multicomponent nanomaterials in a safer-by-design context: the case of core–shell quantum dots“, we show how concepts of similarity enable a fast comparative screening of five quantum dots against well-known benchmarks materials, with the aim of providing Safe-and-Sustainable-by-Design (SSbD) guidance for these and other challenging multicomponent nanostructured materials.

Special thanks to the colleagues from BASF, DTU, IDEA, UG, HMGU for the hard work!
