Talk:Research/Nano Technology

Tried to fill out a bit.

There seems to be some confusion between Nano Technology and Advanced Armor Fabrics, so I tried to stay within the parameters of the old description so far. More later... --Grumpy 01:37, 20 October 2006 (CEST)

Nano technology opens up a wide field of new production methods especially in the design and production of armor and fabric. The experience gained from research into advanced laser technologies and control of plasma superheated plasma has provided us with a deeper understanding of particle and molecular interactions. This understanding enables us to design and chemically grow materials on a molecular level, yielding special properties, such as flexible fabrics with a heat-resistance normally found only in ceramics. Combined with conducting and semiconducting high strength carbon nanotubes as well as radiation absorbing complexes encapsulated in fullerenes (geodesic domes at an atomic level) which can be used to fabricate armor that is more robust and has higher resistance to known weapons technologies than any known protection tested before. In particular, the recently analyzed charged plasma beams are reported to dissipate over the surface of the nano-material, consuming some of the fabric, but not passing through. Not only that, but the nano-fabric is promising to also be lighter and less restricting than similar conventional materials.
