The dynamic thin-laminar-flow process deposits monolayers of material onto substrates. It consists of a rotating glass cylinder and a system that injects suspensions of particles into a thin liquid film. The liquid emerges near the rotating cylinder and is deposited as a monolayer onto the desired substrate. The system can also create multilayers.
Infinex says that it will work with strategic partners to develop commercial applications for its nanotechnology, such as flat visual display systems for automotive and aircraft dashboards; electro-optical lenses for eyeglasses, night vision glasses and car windshields; lenses for lighting systems; and filtration systems, nano-membranes and detection systems for bio-hazards, blood screening and water purification. The business plans to license its technology to companies that will use it for large-scale commercial and industrial applications.
Infinex will also buy a 45% interest in NanoWorld's Italian subsidiary NanoWorld Projects Europe. As part of the deal, Infinex will issue 2.2 million shares to NanoWorld. NanoWorld will retain a royalty of 3% of the gross revenues that Infinex earns from the patents.
