The Aug. 16, 2012 news item by Will Soutter for Aznonano is one of the more enigmatic pieces I’ve read,

Integran Technologies, based in Toronto [Mississauga is close to Toronto and, for familiarity’s sake, is sometimes referred to as Toronto in news releases]], has reported the commercial availability of its innovative nanostructured multilayer coating technology.

Integran Technologies’ proprietary graded, multi-layer and nanolaminate technology delivers unprecedented design options in applying novel structural and functional improvements to a broad range of semi-finished and finished components, which include polymer composites, polymers and metals.

For the life of me, I can’t find a name for or more detail about this ‘new’ technology. I checked the Aug. 14, 2012 company news release and can’t find a name. This announcement seems more focused on the patents than the technology,

Under development for several years with the support of the Canadian Government and the US Department of Defense, Integran’s proprietary graded, multi-layer and nanolaminate technology is covered by a number of specific US and foreign patent filings including the recently issued US 8,129,034 which applies to lightweight articles, precision molds, sporting goods and automotive parts, and covers specific fine-grained metallic coatings and nanolaminates containing Ni, Cu, Co, Fe, Mo, W, Zn, P, B and C.

Klaus Tomantschger, Integran’s Vice President, Intellectual Property and Licensing stated ”Integran is pleased by the US Patent Office’s determination that Integran’s unique grain-refinement technology also extends to its proprietary multi-layer laminate coating technology”. [sic]

You can find out more about Integran here and in my Sept. 4, 2008 posting, my March 26, 2012 posting, my April 16, 2012 posting, and my  May 10, 2012 posting.
