National Technical University of Athens need of standard reference materials (polymer nanomaterials) with well characterized morphology (spatial distribution of nanoparticles) and chemistry (polymer filler interactions) to quantify the response by their experimental techniques in terms of these parameters. The work on these items will show which techniques and test procedures are appropriate for standardization.

Sopra-S.A. always a need for new standards, procedures, terminology and materials. the topology of the surface, at the nano-micro size should be standardized for roughness, BRDF, PSD. Reference materials would be useful for most of the available techniques of today and tomorrow as for surface porosimetry.

Charles University in Prague, Faculty of Mathematics and Physics Department of Macromolecular Physics To tackle individual problems, rather specialized scientific and often new solutions are needed, which cannot be standardized. Regarding test methods, they do not see a need for standards. but a nomenclature for nanostructures and nanoparticles would be helpful. (Note: There are activities at ISO level.

NanoBioMatters Ltd., Spain NanoBioMatters uses a great deal of test and measuring methods, like particle size distribution measurements (laser diffraction), thermal analysis (TGA, DSC), spectroscopic analysis (FTIR, UV-vis), oxygen and vapour transmission rate measurements, optical and electron microscopy (SEM, TEM), colorimetry, X-ray diffractometry, humidity measurements, antimicrobial tests, migration tests, and compostability. NanoBioMatters thinks, that all test procedures used should be standardized.

30. DIN Deutsches Institut für Normung e. V. 30 © 2005 DIN Deutsches Institut für Normung e. V. "Towards a Recommendation for Temperature Calibration of Fast-Scan Calorimeters" The works of SciTe and DSM Resolve form a very valuable basis. Further investigations should be performed and attempts to get involved a few other researchers should be done to substantiate results. A draft recommendation for temperature calibration of Fast-Scan Calorimeters should then be elaborated, which could form the basis for a specification or standard.

31. DIN Deutsches Institut für Normung e. V. 31 © 2005 DIN Deutsches Institut für Normung e. V. NaPolyNet Research Group Calibrants FSC Concerning the calibrants to be scrutinized: these should preferably have an onset or peak maximum temperature which: suits all calorimeters, meaning for the whole range of scan rates; should be usable in both heating and cooling; do not show any supercooling phenomena.
