Dr. M. Shane Thompson Joins Hydrosize
RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA -- July 1, 2007, Hydrosize Technologies, Inc. is
pleased to announce the addition of Dr. Shane Thompson to our team. Dr.
Thompson earned his doctoral degree in polymer chemistry from Virginia Tech
with Dr. Judy Riffle as his research advisor. His graduate research focused
on the synthesis of biocompatible block copolymers and magnetite
nanoparticles. He studied the formation of magnetite complexes with the
copolymers, the ability of the block copolymers to stabilize the magnetite
particles in suspensions, and the interfacial and surface properties of the
particles. (click for full text)
Hydrosize® Technologies Receives Phase II SBIR
Award from NAVAIR
Hydrosize Technologies announces that it has received a Phase II
SBIR award ($750,000 for 2 years) from the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR)
with technical management provided by the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL/ML)
to continue the development of a solvent free high temperature sizing.
During Phase I of this research,
Hydrosize
Technologies and university partner, Michigan State University, successfully
demonstrated the synthesis and processability of the novel high temperature
sizing. The Phase II funding will support the later stages of Research and
Development including optimization of the sizing as well as issues regarding
the scaling of the technology from the research lab to larger scale
production. “This award from NAVAIR recognizes the potential of our high
temperature aqueous sizing for use in advanced composites. We have shown
that our sizing has thermal stability that is equal to the matrix resins
studied,” said Dr. Andrew Brink, Vice President of
Hydrosize
Technologies. The research is targeted to meet the demanding requirements
of composites in aerospace applications; however, many other commercial
applications will benefit as well.
