The nano-based material was developed in the Rice University lab of Professor Andrew R. Barron, a Natcore director and co-founder. Natcore, working through its joint development agreement with the Eastman Kodak Company in Rochester, NY, will put the fabric through a roll-to-roll coating process using nanoparticle solutions provided by Prof. Barron's lab. Natcore will provide Georgia Tech with a sufficient length of the coated fabric to enable a small number of suits to be fabricated and tested.
"This is an exciting and exotic application of our LPD technology," says Chuck Provini, Natcore's President and CEO. "The wet suits produced from this fabric could provide a crucial measure of safety for oil platform divers, Navy SEALS, first responders, and others who will be submerged in inhospitable waters."
