UniStates' New Hybrid Composites Provide Strength On-Demand

WALTHAM, Mass.--Dec. 1, 2005--UniStates announces new hybrid composites that use dual systems to carry heavier loads with less material. Unlike ordinary composites, these new hybrid composites have load-bearing systems that operate in tandem and can be activated sequentially. One system carries initial loads while the other system "stands by" to add more strength on-demand for heavier or different types of loads. Each system specializes in carrying certain types of loads, compression or tension, for example. This specialization uses less material more effectively and allows UnStates' new hybrid composites to be 20% to 30% lighter and substantially stronger than conventional counterparts.

"Our innovative stress management system combines specialized load-bearing systems to form one superior composite," said Charles R. Owens, UniStates' Chairman and CEO. "Our new hybrid composites segregate load by type and steer each type to the material most able to carry it. Each type of load is dispersed in manageable parcels to defuse the threat of stress concentration and extend the performance range of our new hybrid composites beyond the limits of expected material strengths."

UniStates' new lightweight, high-performance hybrid composites are the latest innovation using Reflexive Materials Technologies (RMT(TM) technologies), which reduce the weight and improve the strength, stiffness, and toughness of metals, plastics, and ceramics, among other materials, used by the aerospace, automotive, and other industries worldwide. At the heart of RMT(TM) technologies are simple innovations that use materials more efficiently, converting ordinary materials into extraordinary materials.

About UniStates and RMT(TM) Technologies

UniStates, LLC is an 18 year old technology company that enables the use of Reflexive Materials Technologies (RMT(TM) technologies) to re-engineer a vast range of industrial, military, and consumer products to be lighter, stronger, stiffer, and tougher (see "Industrial Trials" at unistates.com). RMT(SM) manufacturing technologies enable production of a virtually limitless list of products made with metals, plastics, ceramics, and other materials, typically without major capital investments in manufacturing plants and facilities (see "RMT Design & Manufacture" at unistates.com). RMT(TM) technologies are particularly advantageous where lighter weight, superior strength, greater durability, and affordability are important.
