Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the nanopowder is coated or functionalized with organic molecules
Surface-modified products may not be chemically defined compounds.
If the nanopowder is formulated as a luminophore
Prepared luminophores are excluded from Chapter 28.
