Also known as Nanostructured & Amorphous Materials, Inc., Nanoarmor LLC is structured around commercializing novel, lightweight ballistic resistant materials to include: - Pure nanocrystalline refractory metal carbides; Nanoparticle matrices in ultra-light metals; Boron Nitride synthetic fibers; Self-Healing carbon nanotube-polymer films; Advanced ceramic matrix composites; Ultra-light boron nitride aerogels; Ultra-high heat boron carbide nano-ceramics. Principals of the firm argue that most present-day deployed armor technologies are outdated and unreliable. The Nanoarmor approach to utiization of advanced materials for armoring applications is motivated by the need to build stronger, lighter weight and more dependable ballistic resistant materials to meet/surpass future-force protection requirements. To that end, the Department of the Navy has granted NanoArmor, LLC., a revocable, nonassignable, exclusive license to practice in the field of use of ballistic strike plate or armor for wearable body armor utilizing a long list of Navy-held patents.
