So far a total of seventy three items of different nature (from peer reviewed articles to presentations and contributions to congresses) have been selected and classified as "nanomaterials release simulation technologies". In present document, different approaches for the simulation of different life cycle stages through the physical degradation of polymer nanocomposites at laboratory scale are assessed. In absence of a reference methodology, the comparison of the different protocols used still remains a challenge.enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessOn the experimental approaches for the assessment of the release of engineered nanomaterials from nanocomposites by physical degradation processesconference output10.1088/1757-899X/64/1/012030General Materials ScienceGeneral Engineeringhttp://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?scp=84940363172&partnerID=8YFLogxK
