What is a nanometer? 1nm ( nanometer ) is exactly 1 billionth of a meter.

Here are some interesting every day examples to better illustrate the concept:

- The human hair is 80,000 nm thick.
- A red blood cell is 7,000 nm in diameter.
- A water molecule is nearly 0.3 nm in diameter.
- A nanometer-sized particle is smaller than any living
  thing and can only be seen with electron
  microscopes.

Nanotechnology is not something new. Chemists have been working on conductive polymers at the nanoscale for decades. Conductive polymers are also organic polymers and therefore have the mechanical properties ( flexibility, toughness, malleability, elasticity, etc. ) of traditional plastics. Super materials, like NASACOAT®'s resin line, require complex, multistep, and exact manufacturing procedures which were perfected with millions of dollars of investment and the hard work of our scientists for more than 12 years. NASACOAT® final products are revolutionary and unique as they possess one of a kind material properties, environmental protection and also offer the NASACOAT® " instant solution " approach.

Although many nanomaterials exist on the market today, NASACOAT® is the ONLY company offering an environmentally friendly acrylic material that is 100% water based.

Although nanotechnology has been with us for decades, the science of nanostructures began in the 1940s with the initial breakthroughs of the modern era. Today, Nanotechnology remains " in baby shoes " and our human curiosity and imagination continues to expand the boundaries of this new science. Nanotechnology is taking humankind beyond the merely imaginary scientific barriers of the known universe. Nanostructures in nature have existed for billions of years.

Their simple perfection remains without artificial reproduction, much less explanation, in a perfect natural form. It is true the discoveries in Nanotechnology are insignificant when compared to the self-manufacturing wonders of life. We are not discovering the extent of the interminable and incomprehensible Universe but we are taping into the infinite creativity of human imagination that goes beyond today's scientific facts.

Humankind cannot take the risk of assuming how far is too far? How far is too far away? This closed way of thinking has been, until now, a persistent weakness of human beings throughout history.

Nanotechnology will drastically change the structure of our economy, education, culture, beliefs and ultimately improve our quality of life beyond what was previously imagined. In the near future, Nanotechnology will even change the way we look at longevity and this will be one of the significant steps in the future of human health and the preservation of life in general.
