One thing no one mentions here is their mfg costs related to their manufacturing process. A year ago I heard from someone involved w/ nano particles is their cost per ton is awful. Can they bring it down as they ramp volume up or does the process inherently cost a lot? Also, after raising how many millions of dollars, why would they license out their ceramic forming technology instead of developing the sales themselves? Same goes for licensing to a Japanese Co. Why not be the only player w/ the technology, if the tech is really good. If it is that good a technology vs. existing processes why give up a competitive edge? Anyone familiar with their VCs previous IPO in the ceramics are, Illinois Superconductor? Promising technology, raised lots of $ in IPO, built a new building but never seemed to generate any sales. Stocks range for the year is $1=>20, currently @ <$2. With that said, the technology and potential markets are huge. Seems any application they look at, they can find an advantage to using nano particles. They can only go after the real expensive materials apps because of cost (like the makeup industry).
