NanoDynamics Receives SBIR Grant for Development of Nanomaterials for U.S. Army

NanoDynamics, Inc., a Buffalo-based company with offices located in the TechColumbus center, has received a two-year Phase II SBIR grant in the amount of $773,000 to continue development of highly conductive, high aspect ratio nano-scale materials to be used by the Army in infrared obscurants.  Infrared obscurants are used as advanced technology smoke screens, the purpose of which is to prevent detection by forward looking infrared (FLIR) imaging technology on the battlefield.  The nanomaterials are also anticipated to have commercial viability in electronic applications such as the development of printable, flexible circuits used in displays and sensors.  

NanoDynamics fully acquired Columbus-based MetaMateria Partners LLC in 2004.
