The objective of this new project supported by the Chemical Nomenclature and Structure Representation Division (IUPAC Div VIII) is to analyze existing nomenclature principles for carbon nanotubes (CNT) and related substances, and to create a technical report on nomenclature conventions to be used by scientists and regulatory bodies.

Nanomaterials are already a very important area of chemistry with a quickly growing range of industrial applications. IUPAC nomenclature conventions in this area are needed for both scientists and regulatory agencies.

The current IUPAC recommendations in the area of nanomaterials are limited to fullerenes only. Practically all other classes of nanomaterials are as yet out of the scope of IUPAC attention. This project is aimed at the analysis of currently scattered nomenclature conventions for CNT and the preparation of a technical report on nomenclature conventions for classification and naming of CNT and related substances.

Because of the special nature of CNT, the project team is composed of CNT experts and experts in the nomenclature of discrete and macromolecular structures. The involved CNT experts took part in the task group of the Terminology and Nomenclature Working Group of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) (ISO/TC229 Nanotechnologies).
