NaturalNano to Present at 11th Annual Nano Science and Technology Institute's Nanotech 2008 in Boston
NaturalNano, Inc. (OTCBB: NNAN) (FWB: N3N), adeveloper of advanced nanomaterials and extended release nanotechnologies,today announced that Polymer Research Director Dr. Bob Daly will present"Halloysite Nanotubes in Polymers" at the Nanotech 2008 Conference inBoston on Wednesday, June 4, 2008 at 10:30 a.m. EDT. The conference willbe held at the Hynes Convention Center."This conference is an opportunity for NaturalNano to showcase theindustry-leading properties of our proprietary nanocomposite additive,Pleximer(TM), and the multitude of advantages it holds for industriesranging from plastics to cosmetics," said Daly. "In addition, NaturalNanowill have the opportunity to highlight the ongoing research and developmentinitiatives that have earned us a number of funded projects and jointdevelopment agreements with global consumer product manufacturers."
Daly's presentation will discuss the advantages of Halloysite Nanotubes(TM)(HNT) -- a naturally occurring member of the kaolin family ofaluminoslicate clays which can be dispersed in a variety of polymers toproduce nanocomposites with a number of commercially desirable physicalproperties. For example, applications of Pleximer, of which HNT is a keycomponent, range from high-quality coating finishes to lighter and moredurable office furniture. In addition, the unique hollow tube structure ofHNT enables NaturalNano to fill the tubes with a variety of additives thatcan be slowly released over time, extending the life of products such assun block or other cosmetics.
Nanotech 2008 is the largest and most comprehensive technical and businessevent in the nanotechnology field worldwide, featuring more than 30technical and business symposia. The event is scheduled to run from June 1- 5; a full schedule of events and presentations is available on the NSTIwebsite at www.nsti.org/Nanotech2008.
