Dual-Use Export Controls on Nanotechnology
Volume 5, Issue 1


Authors:
Jamie A. Joiner, Baker & Hostetler LLP

Abstract:
One of the most important policy challenges posed by the proliferation of nanoscience and nanotechnology is preventing dangerous uses of the technology while cultivating development and commercialization of nanotech-based products. The export control laws were drafted prior to the widespread development and commercialization of engineered nanomaterials. As a result, there are a variety of ambiguities about how the regulations apply to nanotechnology. In this article, lawyer and export control expert Jamie Joiner provides an overview of the relevant laws and engages in a detailed analysis of how they apply to nanomaterials and products incorporating nanomaterials. She offers guidance to companies, universities, and research institutions in navigating the export control regimes.
