Material

The MATERIAL section allows for the description of the nanomaterial formulation and any materials (including material parts) associated with the nanomaterial formulation.  A formulation is the nanomaterial and any other components or medium.  A formulation can also be any non-biological material sample (e.g. small molecule) used in experimentation.  The Material Section supports the following types of information:

• the material identifier, material name, material type, and material description
• a description of the synthesis and rationale for design
• the chemical name and  characteristics of the material
• the intended application of the material material 

An Example Material File is shown in TABLE 2.

Material source identifier--- The unique identification name of the source from which the material sample is derived. Its value is used as the value for source name in nano-TAB study files, thereby linking the nano-TAB material file and the study file. For example, NCL-23 (see TABLE 2) is the name that identifies a material characterized by the Nanotechnology Characterization Laboratory (NCL).  This example indicates that the sample NCL-23 is a complex formed out of NCL-22 (a G4.5 PAMAM dendrimer terminated with carboxyl groups) and NCL-24 (magnevist).
