Nano Terra announced
today a partnership with Honeywell Aerospace to develop functional surfaces
for a variety of aerospace applications.
Under the long-term agreement, the companies will work together to utilize
Nano Terra’s surface engineering technology to develop the fabrication
of thin films for certain military and commercial aerospace applications designed
specifically to enhance performance.
This relationship will combine Honeywell’s aerospace technology and systems
integration expertise with Nano Terra science, which enables the efficient functionalization
of surfaces.
“We believe this agreement will open the door to the exploration of a
variety of new science and technology solutions,” said Bob Smith, Vice
President of Advanced Technologies, Honeywell Aerospace. “Our goal is
to deliver a new generation of innovative aerospace products and services.”
Myer Berlow, Nano Terra’s CEO, said, “We look forward to working
closely with them to combine Nano Terra’s science with Honeywell’s
vision for future avionics developments that will enhance their extensive product
lines and systems.”
Nano Terra is a privately-held research and development company with expertise
supported by more than 50 patents on work done by co-founder Dr. George Whitesides,
the Woodford L. and Ann A. Flowers University Professor at Harvard University
and winner of the prestigious Benjamin Franklin Medal in Chemistry in 2009.
The company leverages its expertise and intellectual property through co-development
and other agreements with Fortune 500 industrial and manufacturing companies
and the U.S. government. Nano Terra’s scientific methods can be used to
fabricate advanced materials and devices that enhance existing products or create
entirely new products in a broad range of areas, including: smart materials
and surfaces; flexible electronics such as displays and electronic packaging;
fuel cells, batteries and solar power devices; sensors; industrial products
and processes; and a wide range of consumer goods. For more information, visit
