©2012 NILES NANOFABRIX – PROPRIETARY INFORMATION
Technology Highlights• Makes inexpensive glass fiber reinforced composites
surpass carbon reinforced surface properties
• For EMI - comparable performance to aluminum with 1/3 the weight, 1/2 the thickness, comparable price
• NO CHANGE to existing manufacturing process
• NOT a coating - will not delaminate
• Will NOT DEGRADE host material properties
• Made with existing commercial nano-materials
