Composites and CNT

Can anyone recommend an outfit who has the latest knowledge in marine composites - I am particularly interested in efficiency and the drive toward lower CO2 emmisions in supply chain. Also CNT knowledge would be a big plus.

I have had a look at the carbon cost of a boat and no-one seems to have any knowledge including the RYA and the BMF - let me know if you find anything!

I think that it has to be a blank canvass job mate. I see the Carbon Trust are establishing a labeling stamp (a footprint) for supply chain. I'm after anyone who has knowledge of CNTs in composite construction (Nano tube technology). For our project there is a huge amount of research going on as you can imagine.

Bloody fascinating project!
