SP Nano is a nanotechnology company commercializing the use of nano-particles in the rapidly growing $106 billion composites market. The most widely-used type of composite consists of layers of fabric (carbon-fiber, glass-fiber, aramid) held together by a resin matrix. The matrix is the materials' weakest link - much weaker than the layers of fibers it binds. When composite structures and components commonly used in the aerospace, defense, automotive, marine and sporting goods industries fail, it's often because of this large discrepancy in strength between the fibers and the resin.
