Nanomaterials scientists can seek union representation from the American Federation of Government Employees and other unions. Unions advocate for better working conditions, benefits, and salaries. Some professional associations have councils or subgroups for scientists who specialize in nanoscience and nanotechnology. Nanomaterials scientists may join association such as the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, American Chemical Society, American Institute of Physics, Materials Research Society, and The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society. Other useful organizations include the Nano Science and Technology Institute, Nanotechnology Industries Association, and the National Nanotechnology Initiative.
