Our Aim
The consortium InnoMatSafety focuses on a research data infrastructure concerning the safety of innovative materials, which involves material-specific data as well as information on the exposure and the impact of these materials on human health and the environment. Innovative materials are materials with enhanced or new properties compared to conventional materials. Examples are nanomaterials, (nano-)composites, ceramics, polymers as well as biological materials. Research on the safety of new materials, from their development in the laboratory to their approval and application, is interdisciplinary. It covers areas of chemistry, medicine, environmental research and materials science. InnoMatSafety therefore plays an important role as a hinge between other NFDI consortia and can make important contributions to interdisciplinarity and interoperability.
