NaturalNano to Present at the 2005 Nano Science and Technology Institute Conference; Applications for Naturally Occurring Nanotubes to Be Explored in Depth and Scanning Electron Microscope Images Shown
ROCHESTER, N.Y., May 06, 2005 (BUSINESS WIRE) --
NaturalNano Inc., a nanotechnology company whose primary business is discovering, refining and commercializing naturally occurring nanomaterials, has announced that Michael Riedlinger, NaturalNano President, will present at the 2005 NSTI Nanotechnology Conference and Trade Show, in Anaheim, CA at the Anaheim Marriott & Convention Center, Monday, May 9 at 11:30 am.
The presentation, entitled "Promising Possibilities for Naturally Occurring Nanotubes," will focus on the characteristics and applications of naturally occurring halloysite nanotubes. Mr. Riedlinger will discuss the use of these nanotubes in composites, electronics, cosmetics, and many other applications.
Mined at the Atlas Mining Dragon Mine in Utah, halloysite is readily available in large quantities and does not require the fabrication infrastructure normally associated with manufacturing of other types of nanotubes. Earlier this year, NaturalNano Inc. entered into a contract with Atlas Mining Company (OTC BB: ALMI) to acquire 500 tons of processed halloysite.
NaturalNano's team of scientists is developing commercial applications for halloysite nanotubes as additives in polymers and plastics, electronic components, cosmetics, and absorbents. NaturalNano is making samples available to prospective customers in these industries.
The Company has rights to pending patents that cover processes, compositions, and derivatives and its pending patents cover more than 200 different commercial applications. It is also developing proprietary, patent-pending extraction, separation, and classification technologies to enable production of more uniform material to meet the higher standards required for advanced applications.
