NaturalNano, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: NNAN; FWB: N3N), a company whose primary business is discovering, refining, and marketing naturally occurring nanomaterials, announced today that Michael Riedlinger, president, will present on nanotube technologies at the Ohio Nanotechnology Summit at the Greater Columbus Convention Center in Columbus, Ohio on Tuesday, April 4, 2006 at 11:20 a.m. ET.
Riedlinger will discuss NaturalNano's discovery of and continuing development of unique technologies for commercializing naturally-formed halloysite clay nanotubes.
Riedlinger said, "Among the growing number of significant nanotechnologies being introduced to the marketplace, natural nanotubes represent a significant value to multiple industries. Leveraging the anticipated growth potential of nanoscale materials, NaturalNano is leading the way towards commercialization of these multi-application nanomaterials. We are looking forward to presenting the NaturalNano story at this highly respected conference and interacting with potential partners and other leading edge nanotechnology executives."
NaturalNano has rights to multiple issued and pending patents that cover processes, compositions, and applications for the nanotubes found in halloysite clay. More than 200 different commercial applications have been identified to date. The company is also developing proprietary, patent-pending extraction, separation, and classification technologies to enable production of more uniform nanotubes to meet the higher standards required for advanced applications of the naturally occurring nanotubes. These include precise, controlled, and extended release of application-specific additives for use with cosmetics, polymers and plastics and other areas.
