VAMAS

<p>VAMAS stands for <i>Versailles Project on Advanced Materials and Standards</i>. It is a collaborative project that was initiated at the <a href="/facts/8th_G7_summit/y0YWdnj2">1982 G7 Economic Summit</a> in <a href="/facts/Palace_of_Versailles/UEBCWwQU">Versailles</a> to develop and promote standards for the <a href="/facts/Characterization_(materials_science)/FDzNl7B7">characterisation of advanced materials</a>, including <a href="/facts/Surface_science/WTENdutJ">surfaces</a>, <a href="/facts/Interface_(science)/HnIAndVA">interfaces</a>, <a href="/facts/Thin_film/nSeoUT4Q">thin films</a>, and <a href="/facts/Nanostructure/rkeQGqt7">nanostructures</a>. Using <a href="/facts/Inter-laboratory_calibration/6JBlfYm3">interlaboratory studies</a>, the VAMAS project has developed a number of standard test methods and <a href="/facts/Reference_material/a8aSXwoL">reference materials</a> for a wide range of materials. These standards have been widely adopted by industry and academic researchers, and have contributed to the development of new materials and technologies.
