Page History

...

The page that opens is organized into four sections. This page is the same for all nanomaterial composition data, except for slight customizations based what you select in the Nanomaterial Entity field. Instructions for using the page are outlined in the steps below.

...

1. Select the Nanomaterial Entity Type (required) from the drop down list. Enter a Description for the entity.
2. A [Nanomaterial] Properties section appears whose fields are customized according to what you selected for Nanomaterial Entity Type. For specific information about completing the Properties section, see Defining Nanomaterial Entity Properties.
3. In the Composing Element section, add information regarding the elements that compose the nanomaterial entity of the sample. For more information, see Defining Nanomaterial Composing Elements.
4. In the File section, click Add to expand the page where you can add one or more files whose data is relevant to the nanomaterial entity or the derivation of its data. For more information, see Adding a File.
5. In the Copy to Other Samples... section, select one or more samples in the list to which you want this composition data transferred. This option copies files and data to one or more selected samples "owned" by the same point of contact. For more information, see Copying Characterizations.
6. When you finish, click Submit to save the data to the sample or click Reset to clear all fields on the form.

To define biopolymer properties, follow these steps:

1. Name: Enter the name of the biopolymer.

2. Include Page
   Biopolymer type Biopolymer type

3. Sequence: Using the appropriate format, enter the complete sequence of the biopolymer.

...

To define carbon nanotube properties, follow these steps:

1. Average Length: Enter the average length of the nanotube.
2. Length Unit: Select or enter the measurement unit type for the average length measurement of the nanotube.
3. Chirality: Chirality is the spatial position or orientation of functional groups located within a molecule. Enter information about the chirality in the nanotube and its effect on the orientation of functional groups located on the particle.
4. Diameter: Enter the measurement of the nanotube diameter, as measured from one side of the tube wall through the center of the nanotube to the opposite point on the circumference.
5. Diameter Unit: Enter the measurement unit type of the nanotube diameter.
6. Wall Type: Select the appropriate description of the nanotube wall:

• • DWNT--(Double-Wall Nanotube)--Nanotube wall consists of two layers of graphitic carbon.
  • MWNT--(Multiple-Wall Nanotube)--Nanotube consists of single-walled nanotubes layered inside each other
  • SWNT--(Single-wall Nanotube)--Wall consists of a single layer of graphitic carbon

After defining the particle properties, continue the process described in Adding Nanomaterial Entity Composition Annotations.

To define dendrimer properties, follow these steps:

1. Branch: Branches are molecules that branch off of the core (like tree branches). Enter a description that represents the number of branches in the dendrimer.
2. Generation: Generations are shells layered on the core of a dendrimer. Dendrimers consist of layers of chemical shells built on a core module. Each shell consists of two chemicals in the same order (A-B) and each shell is called a generation. The generations are labeled in decimal to illustrate the shell layering/consistency. For example, Generation 2.5 (G2.5) = 1 shell of A-B (1), surrounded by a second shell of A-B (2), topped off with only one chemical A within the shell (.5). As such, the layering structure would be (A-B, A-B, A) = 2.5.
   List the generations reflected in this dendrimer.

...

To define emulsion properties, follow these steps:

1. Is Polymerized*: Polymerization consists of enzymatic reactions that link a series of monomers, forming a polymerized compound (polymer), usually of high molecular weight, by combination of simpler molecules (monomers).
   Select Yes or No, reflecting whether or not the emulsion is polymerized.
2. Polymer Name{*}: Enter the name of the polymer suspended in the emulsion.

...

To define fullerene properties, follow these steps:

1. Average Diameter: Enter the measurement of the fullerene diameter, as measured from one side of the nanoparticle through its center to the opposite point on the circumference.
2. Average Diameter Unit: Enter the measurement unit type of the fullerene diameter.
3. Number of Carbons: Enter the number of carbon molecules comprising the fullerene.

...

To define liposome properties, follow these steps:

1. Polymer Name: Enter the name of the liposome polymer.
2. Is Polymerized: Polymerization consists of enzymatic reactions that link a series of monomers, forming a polymerized compound (polymer), usually of high molecular weight, by combination of simpler molecules (monomers).
   Select Yes or No, reflecting whether or not the liposome is polymerized.
