NanoMech, Inc. announced today that it has been named a finalist for the prestigious R&D 100 Award for its technology breakthrough, GuardX™. GuardX™ was selected by an independent judging panel out of thousands of entries in the Mechanical Devices/Materials category.
Often referred to as the “Oscars of Invention,” the annual R&D 100 Awards celebrate the most significant technology inventions of the past year. The R&D Top 100 list was established in 1963 and over the past 53 years has recognized such revolutionary products as the flashcube (1965), the automated teller machine (1973), the halogen lamp (1974), the fax machine (1975), the liquid crystal display (1980), the Kodak Photo CD (1991), Taxol anticancer drug (1993), lab on a chip (1996), and HDTV (1998). More recent breakthroughs that have earned R&D 100 Awards include next-generation magnetic resonance imaging machines, laser-based metal-forming tools, NanoMech’s TuffTek® nanoengineered cutting tools and the building blocks for fusion experiments.
GuardX™ is a breakthrough nanoengineered multi-layer overlay encapsulation that tremendously enhances the functional life of a vast array of industrial components, operating in harsh conditions. These multifunctional coatings can provide many benefits including the best wear, corrosion resistance and operating temperature ranges in the industry, along with the easiest and most economical application.
“We are honored to be among the globally recognized technology leaders by R&D 100,” said Jim Phillips, Chairman & CEO of NanoMech. “Our GuardX™ technology will further revolutionize the automotive, trucking, aerospace, marine, construction, oil & gas, agricultural and military industries. GuardX™ will save organizations millions of dollars by reducing and/or eliminating wear, abrasion, corrosion, moisture resistance, thermal management and fireproofing. This recognition is a wonderful tribute to our scientists at NanoMech.”
The winners of the 2015 R&D 100 Awards will be announced at the annual gala to be held on Friday, November 13th. In addition, this year will also feature a two-day technical conference along with the Awards gala. With four high-powered, information-packed tracks, including R&D Strategies and Efficiencies, Emerging Technologies and Materials, Innovations in Robotics and Automation and Instrumentation and Monitoring, the 2015 R&D 100 Technical Conference will feature leaders of research and innovation from around the nation.
