RESUMO

The main objective of this dissertation is to propose an analyticalprospective model as a tool to support decision-making processes concerning metrology, standardization and regulation of nanomaterials in Brazil, based on international references and ongoing initiatives in the world. In the context of nanotechnology development in Brazil, the motivation for carrying out this research is to identify potential benefits of metrology, standardization and regulation of nanomaterials production, within the perspective of applying the model in the country, by the main stakeholders in these areas. The methodology encompasses: (i) bibliographical and documental review on metrology, standardization and regulation of nanomaterials, in general, and nanoparticles, in special; (ii) review of international studies concerning dissertation¿s central themes; (iii) development of a conceptual model that integrates the three functions - metrology, standardization and regulation of nanomaterials; (iv) development of a survey questionnaire and a strategic roadmapping tool. The main results can be summarized as follows: (i) an overview of international studies on metrology, standardization and regulation of nanomaterials, and nanoparticles, in special; (ii) the analytical-prospective model; and (iii) the survey questionnaire and the roadmapping tool for metrology, standardization and regulation of nanomaterials in Brazil, based on international references and ongoing initiatives in the world.
