What we do
  • NaturalNano is a nanotechnology and advanced
    materials company with proprietary, patented and
    patent-pending technology related to extracting,
    classifying and commercializing naturally
    occurring nanomaterials.
  • Our initial materials are based on naturally
    formed nanotubes found in halloysite clay.

5
Research background
  • NaturalNano has been conducting research with
    Ph.D. level scientists to isolate halloysite
    nanotubes from raw halloysite clay,

which has traditionally been used in
manufacturing fine ceramics.

Halloysite nanotubes
  • Examination of halloysite clay under SEM and TEM
    revealed nanoscale tubes

8
Nanoscale benefits
Halloysite nanotubes may be utilized as
containers for controlling the release of
nanoscale
ingredients and may have high value in many
commercial applications.
9
Small wonders
Diameter and length of the nanotubes determine
loading capacity for ingredients
  • and are key to extending the release time of
    active compounds.

10
Small wonders
NaturalNano has proprietary technologies for
filling nanotubes with active ingredients

and we have additional technologies for further
control of release characteristics.
11
Controlled release
Using our technologies, halloysite nanotubes
may be filled with many different materials for
controlled and extended release. Controlled
release results from a steady flow of active
ingredients from the nanotube.
12
Controlled release
This is important for industry applications
that use active ingredients that can quickly
dissipate through reactions with other materials
or by evaporation into the environment.
13
Potential applications
  • Our purified, natural nanotubes when loaded with
    active ingredients using our proprietary
    technologies may
  • Extend the effective use-time for odor masking
    perfumes in household products
  • Provide extended release sunscreens,
    moisturizers, anti-microbials, and nutrients in
    cosmetics
  • Enable new generations of controlled and extended
    drug delivery
  • And more.

14
Potential applications
  • Over 200 applications within multiple industries
    have been identified that may benefit from these
    nanotubes and our proprietary technologies
  • Advanced ceramics
  • Additives for polymers, plastics and composites
  • Absorbent materials
  • Cosmetics and cosmeceuticals
  • Electronics and microcircuitry
  • Electrostatic discharge materials
  • Fertilizers
  • Fungicides
  • Pesticides
  • Hydrogen storage
  • Paint and coating additives
  • Medical and pharmaceutical device
    additives/coatings
  • Many more

15
Potential applications
  • NaturalNano has technology to fill the inner
    opening, or coat the outer surfaces, of
    halloysite nanotubes with various metals.

16
Potential applications
The resulting material may be utilized for Radio
Frequency (RF) or ElectroMagnetic Interference
(EMI) shielding.
17
Potential applications
  • The metalized halloysite nanotubes may then be
    blended with paint or other coating materials or
    as an additive to polymers and plastics to make
    an effective RF or EMI barrier.

18
Application example
  • RF Shielding for large rooms, including
    auditoriums or movie theaters, may be made from
    metal-filled halloysite mixed into paint to block
    cell-phone signals.
  • No more cell-phone interruptions in the middle
    of a concert or movie!

Application example
20
How It Works
  • NaturalNanos Radio-Frequency Shielding
    Technology
  • Halloysite nanotubes coated or loaded with copper
    may be used in paint applied to walls to
    passively block specific radio frequency ranges.
  • Two-way radio-frequency transmissions from cell
    phones, WiFi, and other electronic devices may be
    blocked.
  • Using a complementary technology licensed from
    AMBIT Corporation, building managers may
    selectively override the blocking to allow the
    use of two-way devices in a room or building. An
    indoor antenna picks up cell-phone or other
    signals and sends them to an external antenna
    through an electronic filter. A facility manager
    can enable transmissions at specific frequencies
    or for specific uses. For example, police, fire
    and other emergency communication calls could go
    through.
  • 4. An outdoor antenna transmits and receives the
    cell-phone (or other) signals. The antenna may
    also improve reception for buildings in marginal
    coverage areas.

21
Application example
Increased use of composites creates need for
light-weight RF/EMI shielding and ESD materials

22
Pesticides
Halloysite nanotubes on plant surfaces are
easily picked-up in insect hairs. Insects
actively groom and consume pesticide filled
nanotubes.
  • Potential benefits
  • Reduces amount of pesticides required during
    growing season
  • Saves energy and labor costs through reduction
    in application frequency
