Provisional patents have been filed to protect both novel approaches. There are two primary objectives are the driving force behind General Nano"s technical work plan: (1) Improving properties at the fastener holes to achieve performance levels consistent with composite structure, and (2) cost containment. General Nano has teamed with a prime contractor, composite testing house, and University in Phase I.
