ABSTRACT

This Peruvian Technical Specification expresses the terms and definitions for materials in the field of nanotechnologies, where one or more components are found in nanoscale regions and the materials exhibit properties attributable to the presence of those nanoscale regions. Its goal is to facilitate communication between organizations and individuals in the industry and those who interact with them. Materials have topographic or compositional characteristics at the nanoscale, but this is not sufficient to classify the material as nanostructured. Materials classified as nanostructured have an internal or surface structure with a significant fraction of the characteristics, grains, voids or precipitates at the nanoscale.
