ROLE IN THE PROJECT:

CeNTI will be responsible for the implementation and validation of ASINA’s SbD Management Methodology (SMM). This will include the evaluation of the nano-enabled products’ (NEPs) value chain, comprising the identification of the safety hotspots during the production stages and the evaluation of the performance of the end products during its lifetime.
CeNTI will also be involved on the identification of the relationship between physical-chemical properties of the nanomaterials and its functionality.
