Methods of particle sizing not currently addressed by SC4 field flow fractionation size exclusion chromatography spectroscopic or plasmon resonance techniques atomic force microscopy electron microscopy (broadly covered in image analysis) time of flight mass spectroscopy (TOF MS) Do we need documentary standards for every measurement technique?
Documentary Standards Needs/Gaps Prioritization challenges Nomenclature Reference Materials Guidance on Dispersion issues Fundamental knowledge issues Measurement and characterization needs Measurement of polydispersity at the nano scale Supporting reference materials Pre- and co-normative research needs Market need/demand Do people really use our standards? Technical or policy issues Sampling and dispersion Correct choice of measurement technique What degree of accuracy/precision can be expected?
Working Group 11 Sample Preparation and Reference Materials Convenor Kari Heiskanen, SFS (Finland) Reference Materials has long been an issue Polydisperse materials for quantity axis Documentary Standard on Reference Materials is underway in TC24/SC4 as Preliminary Work Item Philosophy of this Standard is an issue Not in the business of creating Reference Materials Standard should address the use of reference materials to establish accuracy and precision in particle size and surface area/porosity measurements
Working Group 16 Dispersion Characterization Resolution 167 (30 th Meeting of TC24SC4 Seoul, Korea October 2007) ISO TC24 / SC4 resolved that a Preliminary Work Item (PWI) be established with the title Dispersed Stability Characterisation in Liquids Will address the means for establishing the stability of liquid dispersions of colloids. A standard addressing the measurement of zeta potential will likely be one of the first working items Other potential topics or sub topics electrostatic stabilization steric stabilization chemically aided dispersion mechanically aided dispersion dispersion index (indices)
