M (NYSE: MMM), through its New Ventures Business, has invested in GoNano Technologies


Inc., a developer and manufacturer of high surface area nanomaterials for pollution control, cataly- sis, composites and sensory technologies head- quartered in Moscow, Idaho. Terms of the transac- tion were not disclosed.


GoNano Technologies applies its versatile silica- based Nanospring technology to solve problems for customers seeking high surface area next genera- tion solutions such as catalytic converters, Carbon Capture & Recycle™ and continuous flow reactors. GoNano Technologies was founded in 2007 for the purpose of commercializing the Nanospring techno- logy platform, which was developed over a decade long collaboration between Washington State Uni- versity and University of Idaho.


„GoNano Technologies’ unique technology platform offers significant performance improvements for che- mical flow reactions that benefit from large surface areas,” Stefan Gabriel, president, 3M New Ventures, said. “The combination of this potentially game- changing nanomaterial with our technology platforms further stimulates disruptive innovation and creates new business opportunities in the catalytic conversi- on space for 3M.”


GoNano Technologies develops and manufactures environmentally friendly high surface area nanoma- terials for pollution control, catalysis, composites and


sensory technologies. The company‘s patent-pending nanomaterials provide a scalable, industry compati- ble, low cost platform for highly efficient solutions.


3M Skin and Wound Care introduces 3M™ Kind Removal Silicone Tape with a new, silicone-based, adhesive technology that provides an optimal balan- ce of securement and gentleness. This repositionable tape is easy to use and satisfies a long-unmet need for clinicians seeking reliable adhesion and gentle, atraumatic removal, minimizing the likelihood of tape-related skin injury. 3M Kind Removal Silicone Tape launched at the Wound Ostomy and Conti- nence Nurses Society (WOCN) conference in New Orleans, USA, and will be available throughout the Unites States beginning June 22, 2011.


Furthermore, 3M Skin and Wound Care introduces 3M™ Tegaderm™ Diamond Pattern Film Dressing, a versatile dressing solution with transparent, breatha- ble film, preferred frame delivery system and new, Comfort Adhesive Technology. Tegaderm™ Diamond Dressings will be available in the Unites States as well as selected international markets.
