As such, Nanocomp will use this funding to advancethe suitability of nanotube-based material for a number of aerospaceapplications, ranging from thermal management and electromagnetic shielding toelectrical and power generation system enhancements. Senator Judd Gregg stated, “Accelerating the development of nanotechnology iscritical to national security and global competitiveness. This funding buildsupon the significant role that the high-tech industry plays in growing ourstate`s economy and it is exciting to see a New Hampshire small business leadingthis next-generation industry.” “These days, job creation is a national priority and we can all take pride indelivering a direct path to new jobs in New Hampshire with this funding,” saidRepresentative Paul Hodes. “We continue to make significant progress in transitioning CNT materials intohigh performance components for value-add solutions and look forward to workingwith the U.S. Government to advance the scope of these applications,” said PeterAntoinette, president and CEO of Nanocomp Technologies.
