Nanotechnologies - Vocabulary - Part 4: Nanostructured materials (ISO/TS 80004-4:2011)

ISO/TS 80004-4:2011 gives terms and definitions for materials in the field of nanotechnologies where one or more components are nanoscale regions and the materials properties exhibit attributable to the presence of those nanoscale regions. It is to facilitate communications between organizations and individuals in industry and those who interact with them. Materials classified as nanostructured have an internal or surface structure with a significant fraction of features, grains, voids or precipitates in the nanoscale. Articles that contain nano-objects or nanostructured materials are not necessarily nanostructured materials there. ISO/TS 80004-4:2011 includes nanodispersion.
