NaturalNano Signs Development and Supply Agreement for Improved Vehicle and Body Armour Products
(Nanowerk News) NaturalNano and Sparta Armor announced that the companies have entered into an exclusive Joint Development and Supply Agreement to utilize their combined technologies. NaturalNano and Sparta Armor will develop a range of products and applications that combine their respective patented technologies to create a new class of high performance additives. These will significantly improve the mechanical properties of Sparta's Vehicle and Body Armour materials. Under the agreement, NaturalNano and Sparta will produce new products using NaturalNano's Halloysite Natural Tubes (HNT) which Sparta will sell exclusively.

Developments in Nanotechnology is a rapidly expanding field and the next step in the cycle is already happening with convergences between DNA manipulation, nanotechnology, computing, human biological sciences including neurology.
My soon to be published book is built upon three years of closely following developments in these fields and extrapolating forwards to the impact of viable convergences on everyday life. Watch this space.
