Vulvox has also obtained a patent pending(61189208) on composites as detailed below:

Some technologies can improve things without making use of nanoscale research. Vulvox has designed a novel type of honeycomb sandwich structure that will increase its'  stiffness and strength more than 19 times so that it can resist impacts from flying objects without falling apart. A small piece of tire rubber from an exploding tire hit the Concorde's outer fuselage and ignited an explosion. The very thin walls of the Concorde's fuel tanks could have been reinforced with our product and it would have made that impact totally harmless instead of causing an explosion and the end of an era in aviation.  Current honeycomb panels will be replaced by Vulvox panels that stand up to low velocity impacts and stresses that would destroy conventional panels. Honeycomb panels are also easily damaged in the factory before they are installed and Vulvox's product will reduce damage at the site of manuafcture. They will replace heavier assemblies of honeycomb sandwich panels with lighter, stronger structures.  They will enable construction of aircraft and spacecraft that will go further with less fuel. Lighter spacecraft in particular, are necessary to break the single stage to orbit barrier that has prevented rapid utilization of outer space.  On Earth, honeycomb sandwich panels are used extensively in clean rooms. The silicon chip industry uses cleanrooms extensively.

Atomic force microscopes and other equipment such as laser interfereometers are kept on vibration free tables that contain honeycomb vibration dampers.  Vulvox plans to sell honeycombs that stand up to impacts from objects dropped on them, making them more durable and reducing the expense of replacing damaged tables.
