Polymer/carbon nanotube (CNT) composites exhibit distinguished properties, but more quantitative risk assessments on CNTs are necessary as research and development advances. One method to assess the exact risk is to evaluate the characteristics of nanoparticles generated from CNT composites during sanding or Taber abrasion tests. Some researchers have applied loads to CNT composites using Taber machines and analysed the particles using aerosol-measuring instruments and electron microscopes. However, employing aerosolmeasuring instruments is challenging due to the small amount of generated particles. Additionally, the presence of abundant background nanoparticles in testing environments creates issues in quantitative measurements. Our research strives to develop an examination method to measure even very small amounts of nanoparticles generated by Taber abrasion. In this study, a Taber abrasion machine is miniaturised so that it fits inside a small chamber. A high-efficiency particulate air filter is attached to the chamber to eliminate background nanoparticles. Then CNT composites are abraded with the miniaturised Taber abrasion machine inside the chamber and the generated particles are analysed.
