NanoBioMagnetics
Edmond, Oklahoma
NanoBioMagnetics, Inc. is a development stage nanobiomaterials R&D company with primary focus on the development and commercialization of nanotools that target the advancement of anti-cancer technologies through (1) prevention, (2) diagnosis and (3) treatment. The company’s core technology is based on an electromagnetic methodology for the site-specific positioning and placement of designed constructs of magnetically responsive nanoparticles (MNP) in driving a desired physiological event.
Applications platforms under development include: (1) Vectored Drug Delivery, in which MNP constructs, carrying a therapeutic load, are magnetically vectored to the site of therapeutic need, and (2) Biostable Implant Devices, in which implanted MNP drive tissue movements in an oscillating magnetic field. These Organ-Assisting-Device (OAD) technologies are viewed as enabling technologies that will enhance and expand the range of therapeutic options over a range of human health diseases. Several OAD applications, in scientific firsts, have been validated and are being advanced through collaborations with major institutions that bring together multidisciplinary, world-class science teams with the skills necessary for nanobioconvergence. As OAD commercialization opportunities are identified, business units will spin-off with manufacture and commercialization objectives. For information on NanoBioMagnetics, http://www.nanobmi.com

OncoBiotech LLC is seeking to apply nanotechnology for the treatment of cancer. The primary focus of this effort is the development of ways to effectively target single-walled carbon nanotubes to tumors. Nanotubes bound by the tumor can be treated with near-infrared light, which will cause the nanotubes to be selectively heated and thus lead to the destruction of the tumor. Side effects are avoided because near-infrared light is not harmful to normal tissue. Proteins are made by recombinant technology and then attached to carbon nanotubes in the laboratory of Roger Harrison, who is Professor of Chemical, Biological and Materials Engineering at OU and Director of Research and founder of OncoBiotech LLC. Daniel Resasco, Professor of Chemical, Biological and Materials Engineering at OU and Chief Scientist at SouthWest NanoTechnologies, Inc. in Norman, is collaborating on this project.

NanoComposites, Inc. (NCI) is a Houston-based nanotechnology company focused on the development and commercialization of high performance elastomers. NCI holds an exclusive, unrestricted license to key nanotech patents from Rice University for functionalizing carbon nanotubes.
NCI is leveraging this proprietary technology via a series of corporate joint development partnerships focused on mission critical applications.
NCI’s core technology uniformly disperses carbon nanotubes, functionalizes and covalently bonds into composite materials. Without NCI’s technology, carbon nanotubes agglomerate, actually weakening materials. NCI has perfected processes and scaling to enhance a range of elastomer materials in ways that cannot be attained using conventional reinforcing materials for seal and gasket applications.

Southwest Silicon Technology (SST), is located in Ardmore, Okla., founded in 1999 and a supplier of “reclaim” services to the Semiconductor Industry, playing a key role in the various semiconductor manufacturers (TI, NXP, IBM etc.) fabrication cost reduction activities.
Semiconductor device fabrication relies heavily on the use of silicon "test wafers" which are used to monitor the device manufacturing process. In past years, these test wafers were used and then literally, “thrown out”. It was discovered that these test wafers could be “reclaimed” and re-used if the time was taken to remove the various layers, polish the surface and clean the wafer, making it almost as good as new. This allows for the re-use of these test wafers that were previously thrown out, cutting manufacturing cost as well as eliminating the environmental impact.
The semiconductor industry over the years has increased silicon wafer diameter from the initial size of 25mm (1”) to the current standard of 300mm (12”). Along with this increase in size has been a reduction in device geometries down to 35 nanometers. This has required an increased emphasis in wafer cleanliness, specifically in terms of reduction in particulate size. SST is currently expanding its plant in order to meet the increasing demand for these new nanometer sized particulates as well as capability to process the larger 300 mm wafers.
