Nanotechnology refers to the research and use of materials and structures sized from 1 to 100 nanometers. This technology facilitates innovative solutions with improved properties such as greater stability, reactivity, or efficiency. Nanotechnology contributes to the efficient use of resources, environmentally friendly processes, and new technologies for environmental and health protection. Evonik is committed to the responsible use of nanotechnology and recognizes the potential of new materials for high-quality batteries, energy saving, and greenhouse gas reduction. Thanks to our many years of experience, we are able to ensure the safe handling of nanomaterials on the basis of current scientific knowledge of hazard and risk assessment. We foster the development of specific methods of investigation to improve risk assessment and explore potential hazards.
